The Florida Panthers and the Calgary Flames meet in NHL action from the Scotiabank Saddledome on Tuesday night.
The Florida Panthers will look to build on their 9-2 win over Columbus in their last game. Jonathan Huberdeau leads the Panthers in scoring with 53 points including a team-high 38 assists while Aaron Ekblad has 35 points with 10 goals and 25 assists this season. Carter Verhaeghe has 31 points and Sam Reinhart has 31 points as well with Verhaeghe chipping in 13 goals and 18 apples while Reinhart’s logging 11 goals and 20 assists. Anthony Duclair has a team-high 16 goals and a team-best +28 plus/minus rating while Aleksander Barkov has 15 goals this season. Sergei Bobrovsky’s gone 19-3-3 with a 2.47 GAA and a .921 save percentage between the pipes for Florida while Spencer Knight is 7-4-2 with a 3.39 GAA and an .896 save percentage.
The Calgary Flames will look to snap a four-game losing streak after a 4-1 loss to Ottawa last time out. Johnny Gaudreau leads the Flames in scoring with 39 points including a team-high 24 assists while Elias Lindholm has 29 points with 17 assists and 12 goals with Lindholm posting a team-high +22 plus/minus rating while Gaudreau has a +18 rating. Matthew Tkachuk has 16 goals and 16 assists for his 32 points while Andrew Mangiapane has 21 points and a team-high 18 goals. Jacob Markstrom’s gone 12-8-5 with a 2.23 GAA and a .924 save percentage up to this point in the season in goal for Calgary.
Florida is 2-9 in their last 11 road games and 38-18 in their last 56 games overall while the over is 7-0 in their last 7 Tuesday games. Calgary is 0-4 in their last 4 games overall and 1-4 in their last 5 home games while the under is 3-1-1 in their last 5 games as a home underdog.
I get that the Panthers haven’t been anything special on the road this season compared to their form at home, but realistically, the Calgary Flames aren’t much of anything either and between two teams that don’t have much to separate in terms of home and away from, you’re still not going to get this kind of price with the Florida Panthers often. Give me the Panthers and the cheap price here.
