The Calgary Flames played four of their last five games of the 2022 calendar year either on the front or back leg of a back-to-back. The Flames will get some time to rest with just 12 games scheduled in January, and they try to get 2023 off on the right start with a win over the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday.
The Jets also play their first game of the New Year in the Flames vs. Winnipeg matchup, finally getting back on track at the end of 2022 with back to back wins over the Canucks and Oilers.
Calgary Flames
The Flames are riding solid defensive play lately holding four straight opponents to two goals or less. That’s not a shocker for a team that ranks in the top half of the NHL in goals allowed, and surrenders just 28.1 SOG which is the third fewest.
It should be another positive defensive night for Calgary, as the Jets are struggling a bit offensively being held to two goals or less in four of their last five.

With all the back to backs lately, Calgary has split time between Jakob Markstrom and Dan Vladar in net. After having had a couple nights off, Markstrom should be back on the perch looking for his fifth win in his last six outings. Will we see that Markstrom though, or the one who lost six straight games prior?
Winnipeg Jets
The Jets are in a bit of an offensive rut right now, and it seems like Kyle Conner is one of the few players producing with 13 points in his last 9 games. Pierre-Luc Dubois has scored in two of the last three, but losing Blake Wheeler (groin) in the middle of last month is having an affect.
Winnipeg is just 5-5 over their last 10 but they are still within five points of Dallas in the Central. The Jets are 17-6 in their last 23 home games, which they’ll look to improve upon Wednesday night.
What’s been unfortunate about the Jets’ lack of offense lately is that they’re wasting some good outings form Connor Hellebuyck in net, as his 2.32 GAA is fifth best in the NHL. Hellebuyck is still coming off a 7-4 mark in December.

Free Calgary Flames vs. Winnipeg Jets NHL Prediction
Oddsmakers are rightfully calling this one a very close matchup, as both teams have had the last two nights off following a two game win streak.
Calgary won the first meeting 3-2 at home back at the end of November, but the Jets had won four of five prior. What this game really looks like is a low scoring contest, as four of the last five head to head games have gone ‘under’ the total.
4* Free NHL Betting Pick: Under 6
Hellebuyck is dialed in, Markstrom has allowed two goals or less in four of five, and neither offense is particularly locked in right now either.
