Flames vs Blackhawks Odds

Odds as of December 12th at Barstool Sportsbook

Flames Slumping in NHL Odds

Calgary brings a four-game losing streak into Monday’s NHL matchup with Chicago. The Flames have lost four consecutive games against Vegas, San Jose, Carolina and Boston.

Their most recent outing against the Bruins saw Calgary outshoot Boston 42-27 but lose by a 4-1 score.

The Flames were arguably the better team against Boston, but they didn’t get the better goaltending performance. After a two-game homestand, the Flames have a chance to get back on track on the road. Calgary is an impressive 11-4-2 away from Scotiabank Saddledome.

The Flames have four double-digit goalscorers in Johnny Gaudreau, Elias Lindholm, Matthew Tkachuk and Andrew Mangiapane. Despite a rough outing against Boston, goaltender Markstrom remains among the NHL leaders with a .933 save percentage. Calgary ranks second in GAA (2.21).

Blackhawks Betting Value as Home Underdogs

Chicago enters Monday’s NHL matchup with Calgary having lost two of their past three games. The Blackhawks lost a heartbreaking 5-4 game to Toronto on Saturday in which they rallied from a 4-1 deficit.

An unlucky bounce led to Toronto scoring the game-winning goal with 1:20 left.

The Blackhawks haven’t been too profitable in the NHL odds as home underdogs. They only own a 5-6-1 record at United Center and have scored just two total goals in their past two home games. Goal scoring has been an issue all season, as Chicago ranks 29th in offense (2.19 GF/GP).

Defenseman Seth Jones is leading Chicago in scoring with 23 points in 27 games, while Alex DeBrincat paces the team in goals with 14 on the year. Goalie Marc-Andre Fleury has been solid with a .913 percentage and is Monday’s projected starting goalie after being rested Saturday.

Flames vs Blackhawks Pick & Prediction

This is the second Flames vs Blackhawks meeting of the season after Calgary won 5-2 at home on November 23rd.

It was a convincing victory too, as the Flames outshot Chicago 37-21. Recent history favors Sutter’s team, as they’ve taken eight of the past 10 meetings.

Flames vs Blackhawks Recent Results

Is Monday’s NHL matchup versus Chicago the game Calgary gets back on track? A good sign for the Flames is that high-danger chances were 18-11 in favor of Calgary against Boston on Saturday.

Chicago’s defense being fourth-worst statistically is the perfect recipe for a breakout.

Let’s take a look at some betting trends for Flames vs Blackhawks:

• Flames are 4-0 in the last 4 meetings in Chicago
• Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings
• Road team is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings

Betting the Flames and the over is a tempting correlating play, but Markstrom and Fleury are two of the NHL’s goalies. The best way to bet Flames vs Blackhawks in the Monday NHL odds is betting Calgary at -139 on the moneyline at Barstool Sportsbook.
