The total in the Islanders vs Flames odds is listed at 5.5, while Calgary is available on the puckline at +138. The Flames have +3000 odds to win the 2022 Stanley Cup, while the Isles are listed as +8000 longshots.

Flames Betting Outlook

The Flames are favored to continue their winning streak on home ice in the Saturday NHL odds. Calgary has won five straight games entering Saturday, including an impressive 5-2 win over Toronto on Thursday. Goalie Jacob Markstrom made 46 saves in the victory.

Calgary has been a terrific road team this season, but they are only 9-4-4 at home. The good news is the Flames have strung together four consecutive victories at Scotiabank Saddledome. Their last loss on home ice came January 13th against Ottawa.

Calgary has been up-and-down this season but defense has been a consistent strength. The Flames are only allowing 2.41 goals against per game, which is second-best in the NHL. Markstrom has played a huge part in that success, posting eight shutouts in 35 starts.

Offensively, the Flames are averaging 3.30 goals per game, which is eighth-best in the league. Johnny Gaudreau is having an MVP-caliber season with 19 goals and 49 points, while Matthew Tkachuk and Andrew Mangiapane have both reached the 20-goal plateau.

Islanders Betting Analysis

The Islanders enter Saturday’s game against Calgary having won five of their past 10 games. The Isles were in action against Edmonton on Friday, losing to the Oilers by a 3-1 score. Anthony Beauvillier scored the lone goal for New York.

The Isles are 8-8-3 on the road this season. They began their West Coast road trip with a loss to Seattle before getting back on track against Vancouver. When Barry Trotz’ team is listed as the betting underdog in the NHL odds, they’ve posted a dismissal 1-12 record.

Much like Calgary, New York’s primary strength this season has been defense. The Isles are only allowing 2.63 goals against per game, which is fifth-best in the NHL. Goalie Ilya Sorokin has been a standout, posting a 14-8-5 record with a .924 save percentage and 2.34 GAA.

Offensively, the Isles have the fourth-lowest scoring offense in the league (2.45 GF/GP). Barzal paces the team in scoring with 29 points, while Brock Nelson leads the team in goals (15). New York has a fully healthy roster with Kyle Palmieri clearing COVID-19 protocol Friday.

Flames vs Islanders Pick & Prediction

This is the second matchup of the season between the Flames and Islanders. Calgary took the first meeting 5-2 in November despite being outshot by the Isles. The Flames have won five of the last six meetings overall.

Given how well the Flames are playing, they should have their way with a New York squad playing for the second straight night. The Isles are just 1-6 in their last seven back-to-back situations. It doesn’t help that they haven’t performed well against playoff teams.

Given the late start of this game, the betting line could tick up significantly before puck drop. The Flames are a solid play up to -200, but if the juice gets too heavy, the Calgary regulation line (-112) is worth a look.

Pick: Flames ML (-186)
