Flames vs Oilers prediction

Flames vs Oilers best bet: Connor McDavid Over 1.5 points (-115)

Edmonton Oilers superstar Connor McDavid has turned it on to the tune of 26 points — 12 goals — across his past 10 games with eight multi-point showings.

He’s climbed into the NHL lead in points, and No. 97 draws a favorable matchup against the Calgary Flames to keep the heater rolling along.

Calgary is 6-12-2 on the highway, surrendering a healthy 3.45 goals per road game while ranking last in 5-on-5 team save percentage.

Of course, McDavid has been next to unstoppable at Rogers Place with multiple points in 10 of 15 games, and he also paces the league in points per 60 minutes on home ice over the past three years.

Flames vs Oilers same-game parlay

I’m anticipating the Flames to tighten up defensively and sacrifice offense to take care of their own end of the ice. With Calgary also averaging the fewest goals per road game (2.3) in the league, I like this total going Under the number tonight.

Calgary blueliner Rasmus Andersson has recorded two or more shots in 12 of his past 17 games and 23 of 36 for the season. He’s also logging a career-high 24:06 of ice time per game, which includes quarterbacking the No. 1 power-play unit.
