Chicago Blackhawks vs Calgary Flames prediction

The Blackhawks continue to pile up the losses, they can’t score, and they’ve been absolutely dreadful on the road this season. The Blackhawks are 4-22-1 on the road this season, and they’ve been shutout in 3 of their last 4 road games. The Calgary Flames are putting together a lousy week, but this matchup feels like just what the doctor ordered to get things back on track. No matter what you think of the Flames, backing the Blackhawks, especially on the road, isn’t an option. Give me the Flames and the PL for max betting value.
