The Chicago Blackhawks have rattled off three consecutive victories and will look to make it four in a row against the floundering Calgary Flames at the United Center on Monday. Calgary has struggled on the road, earning just one of a possible four points away from the Scotiabank Saddledome.
- The Flames are 2-15 SU in their last 17 games on the road against the Blackhawks.
- The total has gone OVER in the Blackhawks' last six games at home.
- The total has gone OVER in seven of the Flames' last nine games with a closing total of 5.5 or more.
Newly acquired goaltender Brian Elliott will likely be in net for the Flames, and the early returns on his play have been less than stellar. Elliott has gone 0-3-0 with a 4.72 goals-against average and .839 save percentage in his initial three starts.
He will have his hands full with the Hawks’ Richard Panik. Panik’s game-tying goal against Toronto on Saturday was his sixth tally of the season, giving him the league lead in that department. The 25-year-old Slovakian amassed six goals in 30 contests with Chicago last year.
When the Flames and Blackhawks get together, low-scoring games are the story. The UNDER is 11-2 in the last 13 tilts between the squads.
