My Flame’s analysis
Veteran center Mikael Backlund has put up some respectable numbers for the Calgary Flames so far this season. He only has nine points in 20 games, but he’s been shooting the puck a ton lately.

Backlund has posted over 2.5 shots on goal in seven of his last eight games for a total of 29 SOG in that span. He has been fantastic at home with six, five and four shots in the last three games.

The Wild have done a decent job of limiting shots on goal this season, but they’ve also had a few silly games. They allowed just 31 shots to the Oilers in Edmonton on Thursday night and now continue their road trip in Calgary.

Backlund has fired a ton of shot attempts over his last eight games with 11, seven, four, seven, zero (in Vancouver), eight, six and eight since November 5th. The last three games all came at home.

Flames moneyline

Below 5.5

The Flames are no strangers to being home underdogs. They have been underdogs in six of their 11 games in Calgary, including five of the last six – winning all but one.

This should be a low-scoring game between two of the best defensive teams in the league.

Filip Gustavsson (9-3-2, 2.07 GAA, .926 SV%) is an under-the-radar Vezina Trophy candidate, and Dan Vladar has been a respectable backup for the Flames. He has a .922 SV% in his last four outings.
