The Montreal Canadiens are piling up wins and host the road-weary Calgary Flames at the Bell Centre on Wednesday, January 7.<\/p>\n
My top NHL picks<\/a> and Flames vs. Canadiens predictions are calling for Montreal to pick up another win with rookie goalie Jacob Fowler and star winger Cole Caufield leaving their mark on tonight\u2019s game.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Flames vs Canadiens prediction<\/p>\n Flames vs Canadiens best bet: Canadiens moneyline (-145)<\/p>\n The Calgary Flames<\/a> have been a mess on the highway with a 6-13-2 record and the fewest goals per road game (2.24), in addition to the fewest goals per 60 minutes at five-on-five.<\/p>\n As a result, this matchup sets up nicely for the rolling Montreal Canadiens<\/a> tonight on home ice.<\/p>\n The Habs have an active 6-1-2 heater with an average of 3.89 goals and just 2.44 against, and they\u2019ve tilted the ice in their favor at 5-on-5 with a 51.6 CF%.<\/p>\n Additionally, Habs rookie Jacob Fowler<\/a> is coming off a 31-save shutout in his latest home start, and I expect him to make enough saves for Montreal to outscore Calgary on Wednesday night at the Bell Centre.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Flames vs Canadiens same-game parlay<\/p>\n Returning to Fowler, he\u2019s posted a solid .903 save percentage and 2.57 GAA with an impressive 6.83 goals saved above expected through his seven NHL appearances, and the Flames have averaged the 10th-most shots per road game (27.8).<\/p>\n For the final leg of this same-game parlay, I\u2019m targeting Habs star Cole Caufield<\/a> in the shots market. He\u2019s recorded three or more in 11 of his past 17 games while piling up 52 total on 102 attempts.<\/p>\n Caufield also paces the club in both shots and attempts per 60 minutes for the season while ranking in the 95th percentile of forwards in shots on goal.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Flames vs Canadiens SGP<\/p>\n Jacob Fowler Over 24.5 saves<\/p>\n Cole Caufield Over 2.5 shots on goal<\/p>\n Flames vs Canadiens odds<\/p>\n Moneyline: Calgary +125 | Montreal -150<\/p>\n Puck Line: Calgary +1.5 (-190) | Montreal -1.5 (+155)<\/p>\n Over\/Under: Over 6 (-120) | Under 6 (+100)<\/p>\n Flames vs Canadiens trend<\/p>\n The Montreal Canadiens have won 45 of their last 89 games (+3.70 Units \/ 4% ROI).
