LiontipsCalgary vs Vancouver. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (May 14, 2021).
Command Analysis
Calgary played two away games against Edmonton. They won the first match (3:1), goalie Markström had a great game and stopped 96% of the shots. In the return match, they failed to repeat their success, losing to the Oilers with a score of 1:4. This time the team's defense was very unreliable.
Back at home, the Flames suffered another crushing defeat from Winnipeg (0:4). Markström's performance was weak, he blocked only 78% of the shots. The Flames managed to redeem themselves in a game against Ottawa, where they earned a landslide victory (6:1).
Vancouver have been on a downturn for a long time, and their losing streak has reached six games in which they failed to earn any points. The long-awaited victory of the Canucks over Edmonton (6:3) was something of a miracle. Goaltender Demko played an excellent game, stopping 39 shots out of 42. In the return game, Vancouver lost 3:4.
Then the Canucks exchanged victories with Winnipeg, winning the first game with a score of 3:1, and then suffering a crushing defeat - 0:5. This time the goal was defended by Holtby, who was less reliable. One of the reasons for so many defeats is serious gaps in the lineup, as many as eight players have different injuries.
