BETTING TRENDS
Edmonton are 11-5 SU in their last 16 games.
Edmonton are 1-5 SU in their last 6 games when playing on the road against Calgary.
The total has gone OVER in 4 of Calgary's last 5 games against Edmonton.
Calgary are 7-1 SU in their last 8 games at home.
Prediction
These teams forgot about defense in game 1 as they scored 15 goals but the Flames looked unstoppable but they don't want to be in goals exchange with the Oilers who are averaging 4 goals per game in their last 10 games. The Flames are the #1 defense in the NHL so expect more control for this game. I'm staying with the home team again to win.
