LiontipsSan Jose Sharks - Calgary Flames: NHL match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
It seems that San Jose will not recover until the end of the regular season. The team continues to be in terrible shape, and the series of defeats has reached five matches in a row, and most of them ended in regular time. Only Anaheim managed to impose a decent fight. In the third period, the Shakers made a comeback, equalizing the score just three minutes before the final whistle, but eventually lost in a shootout (3:4). After that, the team returned to the home arena, where they faced the clear favorite in the person of Edmonton, losing by one goal (2:3).
Continuing to perform in their native walls, the sharks fought with Seattle and this time they could not hold back the pressure of the competitor, suffering a defeat with a score of 1:5. Goalkeeper Georgiev showed his worst side, and had to be replaced in the middle of the second period. The club continues to be on the last line in the Western Conference table and is unlikely to rise higher.
Disqualifications and injuries
Mukhamadullin, Couture and Rutta will not play in the upcoming match. The condition of Georgiev Schuldt and Dejarnay is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- San Jose throws 27 times per game on average

Current form
Calgary has been having a hard time earning points lately. The team is not in the best shape, which is why it constantly alternates between wins and losses. The Flames had a three-match away series, in which they were able to succeed only in a duel with Colorado, snatching Victoria in a shootout (3:2). Goalkeeper Vladar confidently coped with his task, reflecting 94% of shots, which allowed him to succeed. The team was close to another victory in the match with the Oilers, but this time the opponent equalized the score at the end of the third period and moved the game into overtime, where they had to concede (2:3).
Returning to the home arena, the lights fought with Anaheim and played as reliably as possible in defense, which allowed them to defeat the Ducks with a score of 4:1. In particular, it is worth praising striker Coleman, who scored a double. The team was one step away from winning for the second time in a row, but suffered an insulting defeat from Vegas in overtime (2:3). Calgary urgently needs to come to its senses and stop losing points, as at the moment the club is only six points behind the playoff zone, and it is still possible to compete for a ticket to the Stanley Cup.

Kirkland and Manta remain in the infirmary.

1.51Tip and bets
San Jose continues to be in terrible shape and is unlikely to be able to impose a decent fight in the upcoming match. The team suffers defeats over and over again even in the home arena, and so far there are no prerequisites for the club to come to its senses and start steadily earning points. Calgary has no right to lose points out of the blue in a duel with a clear outsider, as any defeat can be critical. We believe that serious motivation will help the Flames to win a landslide victory.
Our betting tip is for Calgary to win in 1.90
Bet on the total
But you still shouldn't expect a lot of abandoned goals in the upcoming match. Both teams are having difficulty both creating and implementing attacking chances, which will have a bad effect on the overall performance of the meeting. So there is a great opportunity to bet on a total of less.
Betting Tip - total less than 5.5 goals in 1.77
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Calgary, due to its significant superiority over its opponent, should create serious problems for San Jose from the first minutes of the match. We believe that the guests will earn an advantage at the end of the starting segment.
Prediction - Calgary wins in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.58
