Utah Hockey Club vs Calgary Flames Prediction
I’m not running to the window to back either the Flames or Utah Hockey Club in their current form. Instead, I’m looking at the over. The Flames have allowed 14 goals in their last 3 games, while the Utah Hockey Club have allowed 4 or more goals in 4 of their last 6 games. Both teams are losing, and the defense is getting crushed. Combine the teams and we should see some fireworks. Instead of siding with a team, just give me the over on Wednesday night.
