If you couldn’t tell from the fact that this article exists, it’s an extremely slow night in the NHL. Coyotes-Flames is one of just two matchups on the docket tonight as Calgary goes for its fourth win in five games since the all-star break. The Flames opened as the -184 moneyline favorites as they go for their sixth straight win over the lowly ’Yotes.
After their recent push, the Flames are on the verge of climbing into the playoff race and with a win tonight, they’ll move past the Kings for the final wild-card spot in the West. The Coyotes, however, are the third-worst team in the league and have posted a 6-19 straight-up record on the road this season.
Calgary has been a decent puckline bet as the favorite as the Flames have earned a profit of $665 for $100 bettors if they’d bet on them every time they were favored against the spread. Given how poorly the ’Yotes have played on the road, it’s not unreasonable to think the Flames could win by more than one goal at the Saddledome this evening.
