Detroit Red Wings vs Calgary Flames Prediction

The Detroit Red Wings continue to win games and surprise folks, so I wouldn’t talk you off the ledge if looking at them in this spot. The Red Wings have also won five straight games against the Flames. The problem is the Flames are at home, where they’re 16-7-3 on the season. I’d need more than even money to pull the trigger with the Red Wings. Basically more bang for my buck. The Red Wings have lost three of their last four road games, and in all three of those losses, they scored one goal each. The Flames defensively aren’t the easiest to find success against. I’ve been on the Red Wings a lot over the last few weeks, but the price isn’t sweet enough for me to get on them here. With the Flames’ success at home and the cheap price, I have to lean toward the Flames on Saturday.
