The Calgary Flames, winners of their last two and four of the last five, will look to continue a solid stretch against an improving Vancouver team.
The Canucks will look to win their sixth in a row, after gutting out four one-goal victories in their last four games and then recording a 3-0 shutout against Arizona.
Calgary Flames
The Flames are winners of five of the last seven games and have been playing some solid hockey recently. The offense is looking fantastic and has 24 goals over the past seven games, including an impressive six-goal performance against Colorado.

The team ranks 11th in the league in goals with 109 and its forwards like Johnny “Hockey” Gaudreau that have helped make the offense work.
He has three goals and an assist in his last five games, giving him 10 and 16 on the year.
Johnny Hockey’s had some help from the always impressive Mikael Backlund, who has been lights out in the last five games.
He has six goals and three assists over the last five and has been one of the backbones of this Calgary team.
Add in guys like centers Sean Monahan and Sam Bennett and wingers Matthew Tkachuk and Kris Versteeg, and you’ve got a dangerous Calgary team capable of beating anyone on any given night.
Vancouver Canucks
The Canucks have gutted some close games out recently and are winners of five straight, including a shutout over the Coyotes.
It’s too early to say they have regained a shot at the playoffs, but if this run continues, there’s a chance.
The defense has been much better recently and has allowed two goals or less in each of the five wins.
You can’t call the team’s problems solved yet, but things are trending upward. The offense has played better and more consistently lately.
Unfortunately, injuries are still hampering this team and to really be taken seriously, the injury list needs to be shortened.
Recently, the Canucks lost defensemen Erik Gudbranson and Philip Larsen, along with left winger Jannik Hansen.

Despite the injuries, Vancouver is playing with a lot of confidence lately and has finished close games and beaten teams that many would have expected them to lose to.
To beat a good Calgary team, the solid run of defense will need to continue.
NHL Betting Trends:
- The UNDER is 4-0-1 in Vancouver’s last five games
- Calgary is 11-7-2 on the road this season
Free Calgary Flames vs. Vancouver Canucks NHL Hockey Prediction:
Both of these Canadian teams are playing great hockey right now. It’s hard to give an edge to either team based on recent trends. However, Vancouver in its own building feels like the right amount of advantage.
I think the Canucks get the W.
4* Free NHL Betting Pick: Over 5.5
This game has the capability to be an absolute shootout. If Calgary gets going on the offensive end, the team can easily score five goals by themselves.
Vancouver has been playing better offensively as well and can put the puck in the net.
