Flames vs. Canucks Prediction and Odds (Calgary's Momentum has reached Freight Train Level)

The Vancouver Canucks are coming off a big 5-2 win over the Seattle Kraken their last game out and are looking to keep the momentum going tonight against the Calgary Flames. It is the end of Vancouver’s three-game home tilt, but the finale may be spoiled by the Flames who are one of the hottest teams in the NHL right now. Calgary is bringing a ten-game win streak along with them to Vancouver and looks almost unbeatable right now.

The Flames are 30-13-6 and have a firm grip on first place in the Pacific Division with a four-point lead over the Las Vegas Golden Knights. Their last loss came at the hands of the Saint Louis Blues on Jan. 27. Here are the odds for tonight’s matchup, courtesy of WynnBET Sportsbook.

Flames vs. Canucks Prediction and Pick

While the Flames have been burning hot, it is worth noting that seven of the ten wins during this streak happened on their home ice. Calgary actually hasn’t even played a game on the road since Feb. 4 at Arizona. Having said that, the Flames have won three of their last four road games. While they got a lot of help from an extended home stint, the Flames were not playing a lot of pushovers and came away on top of a lot of very good teams.

This is especially true on the defensive end of things. The Flames have not given up more than two goals in their last eight games including a shutout of the Golden Knights and Blue Jackets. They also shut out the Canucks the last time they met on Jan. 30.

I see no reason to go against the hottest team in the NHL and will look for them to dominate Vancouver for the second time in a row. 

Pick: Flames -1.5 (+152)
