The last meetings between the clubs were held in a tense struggle and ended in favor of one team, then in favor of the other. What should I bet on in the upcoming confrontation?

Command Analysis
Calgary Flames
CanadaCurrent form
Calgary currently occupies the ninth position of the Western Conference and is actively fighting for entry into the playoffs. The team is currently five points behind ninth place, but at the same time has two matches in reserve. The club has been severely lacking stability lately, and it has alternated successful matches with defeats, which is why it has not been able to get much closer to St. Louis.
Let's remind that on their ice, the Flames defeated Anaheim (4:1), then lost to Vegas (2:3 OT), and after a successful duel against San Jose (3:2), they lost to the same Ducks with a score of 3:4 in overtime. By the way, in the confrontation with Dax, they had the most comfortable advantage of two goals, but they gave it to their opponent at the end of the third segment, for which they paid with one point.
However, home matches were the best for Ryan Husky's team throughout the season. Calgary feels much more confident in its stands, so it often even shows better performance and has an average of three goals scored.
Disqualifications and injuries
Manta, Kirkland, Zari and Frost will miss the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Calgary wins 46.1% of face-offs
- According to statistics, the lights carry out 23 power techniques.
Minnesota Wild
USACurrent form
Minnesota is in seventh position in the Western Conference and is currently a direct competitor to the Flames. The Savages have been having an incredibly hard time winning lately, and they've won by a one-goal margin or outside of regular time. Moreover, they faced a series of four defeats, which they were able to break only on their own ice.
So, after unsuccessful matches against the Rangers (4:5 OT) and the Islanders (1:3), the Wild beat Dallas (3:2 OT) at home, and also celebrated their success in a crazy match against San Jose with a score of 8:7 in overtime. In the confrontation with the sharks, the savages had adventures for themselves, as they had a three-goal advantage, but relaxed in the end, for which they were punished with three goals conceded. Fortunately, Kirill Kaprizov, who recently recovered from an injury, took the game into his own hands in extra time and got the team the victory.
In general, with the return of the Russian forward to the squad, Minnesota's offensive game should become brighter, since before that it had serious problems with the implementation of chances and often remained with less than three abandoned goals.
Disqualifications and injuries
Middleton and Irzicek will not play in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Minnesota gets 7.38 minutes of penalty time
- The savages make an average of 27 shots on target.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 pucks
In the last three matches between the clubs, the first period was productive.
1.85Bid for the 2nd period: The hosts will score
In four out of five meetings, the hosts scored goals in the second leg.
1.50Tip and bets
In our opinion, Calgary is quite capable of claiming success in this confrontation. The lights play much better on their own ice than on the road, and they deal with many difficult opponents. Minnesota has had a hard time getting wins lately, even after returning to Kaprizov's squad. Plus, previous meetings between the clubs ended exclusively in favor of the hosts.
Prediction - Calgary wins with a handicap (0) in 2.00
Betting on an individual total
Calgary has often scored more than two goals in previous meetings. Even in the last confrontation with San Jose, Minnesota missed as many as seven times. In face-to-face fights with the savages, Ryan Husky's team often scores at least three times. There has not been a single match between the clubs this season when the hosts have not scored three goals.
We're betting on Calgary's individual total of more than 2.5 goals in 1.74
Bet on the total total
Matches between teams are often spectacular and take place with six or more goals scored. With the return of Kaprizov, the savages will play more open hockey and allow the opponent more in their own zone, but at the same time they will make better use of their moments themselves. Based on this, we expect at least six goals in the upcoming match.
We take a total of more than 5.5 goals for 1.85
