Dustin Wolf vs. Mackenzie Blackwood
It’s a Western Conference showdown in the Rockies as the Flames (34-27-12) square off against the Avalanche (45-26-3), and this one’s got plenty of heat! Between the pipes, we’ve got Dustin Wolf up against Mackenzie Blackwood—two goalies with a lot to prove.
Wolf has been busy but bruised lately. He’s dropped five of his last seven starts and has been giving up at least three goals a night during that stretch. Saturday’s OT loss to the Oilers was a heartbreaker—he stood tall early but couldn’t shut the door late.
Blackwood, meanwhile, has been sharp. Despite a narrow loss to the Blues, he’s been solid all month with strong numbers and big wins.

4* Free NHL Hockey Betting Prediction: Flames +1.5
To those searching for a pure moneyline wager, the Avalanche is the clear pick. Still, with a payout of -253, it’s worth thinking about including this bet in a parlay.
If you’re looking for a puck line bet, I’d suggest going with the Flames to cover. Even in the event of a Avalanche victory, this game is expected to be closely fought, and the Flames should cover the puck line.
If you’re looking at the over/under line set at 6 goals, our prediction is that this game will exceed that mark, and we strongly advise placing a bet on the over.
