Calgary Flames vs Vancouver Canucks Prediction: Betting on a productive encounter

Prediction for the NHL Calgary Flames vs Vancouver Canucks match, which will take place on January 1. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Calgary can't boast stability lately. In the last five games, the team has had three wins and two losses, and the results are alternating. If we take into account this pattern, then in the next game, the Flames will fail. In the last two games, they lost to Edmonton (1:2) and then beat Seattle (3:2). As for Calgary's standing in the Pacific Division, they are struggling to stay in the playoff zone, sitting fifth with 41 points.

Vancouver, in the current NHL regular season, isn't shining. The team is just trying to get into the playoff zone, which is painful to watch. The Whales have 35 points and are six points behind fourth-place Calgary. Vancouver has an excellent opportunity to close the gap in the upcoming game, but they need to win. In the last two games, the Canucks have registered a smashing victory over San Jose (6:2) and a loss to Winnipeg (2:4).

Bookmakers are leaning more toward a Calgary win, which we don't entirely agree with. The Fire has a more convincing performance overall, but the Whales have looked noticeably better in their last ten-game stretch. It's also worth recalling that the Canucks are one of the leaders in the NHL in terms of efficiency. Thus, they scored an average of 7.34 goals per game. In our opinion, it is safest to bet on goals in this matchup.
