Red Wings vs Flames Prediction

The Red Wings have won their last 8 meetings against the Flames, including their last four visits in Calgary.

In this Red Wings vs Flames Prediction, the Red Wings are coming as -140 road favorites. Both teams have been playing good hockey after terrible starts to the season, as both are 3-1 in their last 4 games. But taking a look at those games, the Flames have back-to-back home wins against the Hurricanes and the Wild, while the Red Wings’ only road win has been against the Canucks. On top of that, the Flames have both a better power play and penalty kill and I like them as home dogs in this spot. Take the Flames on the moneyline for plus money.
