Calgary is 1-4 in their last 5 games following a win and 1-4 in their last 5 Monday games while the over is 6-2 in their last 8 games against the Eastern Conference.
Pick
I’m backing the over in this one. Neither team has a goaltending tandem that I feel I can trust in this one with the Flyers giving up goals in bunches and the Flames having inconsistent performances across the board in the crease. I think this is a 4-3 game at the very least, so give me the over.
