Wild vs Flames Prediction
The Flames are 5-2 in their last 7 meetings against the Wild and have won their last three meetings in Calgary.
In this Wild vs Flames Prediction, the Wild are coming as -200 road favorites. I don’t trust the Wild as -200 favorites in this spot, as they are 2-2 in their last 4 games, 2-4 on the road this season and have allowed 4+ goals in three of their last four games. On the flip side, the Flame have won two of their last three and have an excellent history against the Wild, so I expect them to cover the puckline in this one. Take the Flames by +1.5 goals.
Nikos Lagouretos's Pick: Calgary Flames +1.5
