Hurricanes vs Flames Prediction

The oddsmakers aren’t going to give up on the Hurricanes that quickly, but these prices are getting insane. The Hurricanes have lost six of their last eight games, and the offense is coming up short a lot. I’m not confident things will improve on the end of a back-to-back. The Flames haven’t been great on the road, but they’re an above-average team that you just don’t throw out two times the money just for the hell of it. I know the Canes have owned the Flames and Calgary has been shutout in back-to-back games. I get it. Still, the value is with the Flames and the big plus money give the way the Hurricanes have found themselves in a funk these last couple of weeks.
