LOSS
Capitals vs. Flames
Flames +1.5
ANALYSIS
We back Calgary as their 8th-ranked 5v5 High-Danger Chance Suppression provides a high floor against a Capitals team currently mired in a four-game losing streak. While Washington is hopeful to regain leading scorer Tom Wilson tonight, the Flames' reliable 13-8-3 home record and the recent struggles of Caps' goalie Logan Thompson suggest a highly competitive, one-score environment. Our selection relies on Calgary’s defensive discipline to keep the game tight at the Saddledome, even with top winger Jonathan Huberdeau listed as day-to-day.
Key Data
