Will the Calgary Flames find their way back to winning ways?
The Flames are still on course for a playoff berth and still have the best chance of making the NHL playoffs after two straight losses. Especially since Calgary conceded the two most recent defeats against the Eastern Conference leaders. The next tough match-up is on the agenda for Friday night (CET)
After all, the Canadian franchise will face the Carolina Hurricanes, the NHL’s most in-form team in the Eastern Conference. After all, the Hurricanes recently celebrated four wins in a row and thus climbed high in their own division. Betting fans who would like to place an NHL bet on the home side in Carolina Hurricanes vs. Calgary Flames can pick up odds of up to 2.00 in the event of success.
Carolina Hurricanes – Statistics & Current Form
Carolina Hurricanes put together a sensational winning streak and deservedly extended their lead over their rivals in the division in the process. After 31 games, the Hurricanes already have 47 points on their account and thus a lead of 14 points over the pursuers from New Jersey, who are in fifth place in the table with 33 points.
The Hurricanes’ showpiece so far has been their strong defence. Head coach Rod Brind’Amour’s side have conceded just 66 goals in 31 games, a best in the conference. In recent weeks, Carolina has also been largely spared from personnel worries, unlike most of its league rivals.
In their current form, the Hurricanes are almost unstoppable and are now aiming for their fifth win in a row against the Calgary Flames. The recent record against the Canadians is encouraging: Carolina has not lost to the Flames since February 2019. In two of the last three matches, a prediction on the US paid off in Carolina Hurricanes vs. Calgary Flames – a good omen before the upcoming match?
Calgary Flames – Statistics & current form
The Flames, meanwhile, are in a slump of form and have won just two of their last eight matches in the NHL. Nevertheless, their starting spot for the NHL playoffs has not been in jeopardy so far. In order to maintain their lead over their rivals, the Canadian franchise is under pressure to win on the next few matchdays.
The match in Carolina comes in handy for the Flames. So far, Calgary has scored more points away from home than at home. With 28 points in 21 away games, the Canadian franchise even has the best points average in foreign stadiums. So far, Calgary have lost only six of their 21 away games this season – but three of the six defeats have come in the last five away games.
Nevertheless, head coach Darryl Sutter & Co. are confident going into the upcoming match. Especially since Calgary won three of the last four away games in Carolina. Only the last away game against the Hurricanes resulted in a defeat. If another away win is achieved this time, odds of 3.20.
on Carolina Hurricanes vs. Calgary Flames for tip 2 are on offer.
Carolina Hurricanes – Calgary Flames betting tip
If the recent form curve of both teams is anything to go by, the Hurricanes undoubtedly have the edge. Carolina not only celebrated four wins in a row, but also flexed their offensive muscles. Nevertheless, the defence remains the team’s showpiece.
No other team in the NHL conceded fewer goals than the Carolina Hurricanes. It is quite possible that the defensive qualities will be underpinned again against the Flames. Already in the first duel of the season, Carolina kept the Flames’ offence in check and conceded only one goal.
We think it’s a good idea to bet on the home side at odds of 2.00 on the Carolina Hurricanes vs. the Calgary Flames. We are betting six out of ten possible units on this one.
