How to bet the Calgary Flames vs Dallas Stars
The Dallas Stars have the best record in hockey right now, so it’s no real surprise that they are the straight up favorite. The Flames are on a roll right now, though, so there is always the chance that they could cover the spread. Both of these teams can light the lamp, which makes the OVER/UNDER a pretty tempting proposition.Why bet on the Calgary Flames
It looked for a while as though this Flames (14-14-2) was going to be a one season wonder, but they have clawed their way back to .500 thanks to a brilliant 6-game win streak. They are in the midst of a 4-game road trip after winning 5 straight at home, and they got things off to an excellent start with a 2-1 OT win in Nashville. While this looks to be a bit of a tougher proposition for Calgary, it’s worth noting that they have gone 4-0 in their last 4 games against teams with a winning record. Their 4-9-2-record on the road this season is a bit of a concern, but many of those losses came in the early part of the season when they were really struggling.
