LiontipsColumbus vs Calgary. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (December 10, 2022).
Command Analysis
Columbus are in a downturn. Currently, the team is on a three-game losing streak. At home, the Blue Jackets lost to Detroit (2:4), and got crushed by Buffalo with a score of 4:9. Both goalies Korpisalo and Merzlikin had a terrible game against the Sabres. The Jackets couldn't put up a fight against Pittsburgh, either (1:4).
Calgary, on the other hand, have recently recovered from their dip in form. In the last five games, they lost only once, to Montreal (1:2). The other four games were confidently won by the Flames. However, all of those victories took place at Calgary's home arena. The Flames lost their last three away games.

One of the main reasons for Columbus' unimpressive results in their poor offensive performance. We don't believe they will be able to break through Calgary's defenses - the Flames have a solid defense.
