LiontipsCalgary vs Vancouver. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (May 20, 2021).
Command Analysis
Calgary had a three-game home streak in which they were only defeated by Winnipeg with a score of 0:4. The goalie Markstrom did not show his best performance, stopping only 15 shots out of 19. But the Flames defeated Ottawa (6:1) and Vancouver (4:1) without any problems.
Then the Flames had to play away, where the team met with the Canucks again, beating the opponent in a barnburner (6:5 OT). Calgary failed to build on that success in the third head-to-head game, which they yielded due to mistakes in defense (2:4).
Vancouver started to earn points at the end of the season, but not often enough. In five games, the Canucks defeated only Edmonton (4:1), and also managed to take revenge against Calgary (4:2). The opponent was beaten twice thanks to the excellent work of the goaltender Demko.
The away performance of the Canucks leaves much to be desired, as evidenced by their three victories in 11 games. At the moment, Vancouver are on the last line in the table, where they will end the season if they cannot score more points.

Tip and bets
Calgary again demonstrated a weak performance in defense, which is why they were defeated by Vancouver. But the Flames are far more confident at home than away, so betting on the Canucks is pretty risky. We suggest opting for the favorite.
Our prediction is Calgary to win
In the head-to-head, we usually see open hockey by both teams, which is why the games often please us with multiple scoring chances and goals. In just one game out of five, the clubs didn't score more than five goals. So there is a great opportunity to bet on total over.
Second prediction - total over 5.5 goals
