Flames vs Senators prediction

Flames vs Senators Best bet: Drake Batherson Over 0.5 assists (+115)

It’s been a sneaky-good return to action for Ottawa Senators winger Drake Batherson. He’s piled up 12 points — four goals — across his past seven games and has recorded an assist in six of seven.

Batherson playing a top-line role and jumping the boards with the No. 1 power-play unit positions him to keep marking the scoresheet, and this isn’t a daunting matchup against the Calgary Flames.

The 2-8-1 Flames are turning to inexperienced backup Devin Cooley, and Calgary has allowed a healthy 3.55 goals per game.

I also value Batherson clicking with center Tim Stutzle to the tune of 8.45 goals per 60 minutes, including an equally high-end 4.68 at five-on-five while also driving possession with a 56.5 Corsi For percentage.

Flames vs Senators same-game parlay

The Flames have scored the fewest goals per game in the NHL, and the Sens are a solid team at 5-on-5 with a fifth-ranked CF% while ranking ninth in expected goals percentage.

Additionally, while Sens No. 1 Linus Ullmark has been inconsistent to start the year, his body of work speaks for itself. He’s posted a rock-solid .920 save percentage and 2.39 GAA the past four years, including .909 and 2.72 marks in his first season with Ottawa.
