The Calgary Flames host the St. Louis Blues at the Scotiabank Saddledome tonight, with both teams well outside the playoff picture and already looking ahead to the 2026\u201327 season.<\/p>\n

Rookie Matvei Gridin has provided a spark for Calgary, and he headlines my top Blues vs. Flames predictions and NHL picks<\/a> for Wednesday, March 18.<\/p>\n

Blues vs Flames predictionBlues vs Flames best bet: Matvei Gridin Over 0.5 points (+120)<\/p>\n

Calgary Flames<\/a> rookie Matvei Gridin<\/a> is finding his NHL footing and has marked the scoresheet in four of his past six games.<\/p>\n

The Russian cracked the CHL All-Rookie Team last year while averaging 1.41 points per game in the QMJHL, and he followed it up with 30 points across 37 AHL games this season before being promoted to the highest level.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the St. Louis Blues<\/a> have surrendered a healthy 3.39 goals per road game and rank 23rd in expected goals percentage at five-on-five on the highway.<\/p>\n

Blues vs Flames same-game parlay<\/p>\n

Calgary is a respectable 16-12-4 at home, and the Flames have covered the puck line in 16 of their last 25 home games (+7.50 Units \/ 17% ROI), while the Blues sport a 12-18-3 road record.<\/p>\n

In addition to both teams trending to the Under recently, Calgary has scored the fewest goals per game (2.46), and St. Louis sits 28th (2.63).<\/p>\n

As a result, I’m anticipating a close, low-scoring game tonight.<\/p>\n
