Delivering a great season when very little is expected is something that tends to happen to at least one team every season as NHL betting fans have surely noticed. The problem can come the following year, when expectations become that much higher. That is what the Calgary Flames are going to have to put up with this season as they try to deliver back to back great performances. They will welcome in the St. Louis Blues to the Saddledome on Tuesday night.

The young guns in Calgary cannot rest on their laurels, as the general consensus was that last season was just the first step in what looks to be a very bright future. Things did not get off to a great start this season, with a 5-1 loss in their home opener against the Vancouver Canucks far from being the ideal start. The Flames got their chance for revenge a couple of nights later, and picked up their first win of the year in a way that they made commonplace last season. Down 2-1 heading into the third period, the Flames brought their never quit attitude to the ice to pick up a 3-2 OT win.



Key Betting Trends
- Calgary is 1-5 SU in its last 6 games
- The total has gone OVER in 5 of Calgary’s last 7 games
- St. Louis is 4-2 SU in its last 6 games on the road
Consider This Before Placing Your Bet
St. Louis dominated all 3 games against Calgary last season, scoring 12 and giving up only 2 combined. This should be a win for the Blues, and likely another low scoring encounter.
