Calgary vs Detroit Prediction: the Hosts Outclass the Wings

Prediction for the NHL Calgary Flames vs Detroit Red Wings match, which will take place on February 17th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Calgary needs to live up to expectations this season. In the past, the team has claimed win after win and topped the Pacific Division. They are now only fifth in the standings with 61 points. The Flames are in the playoff zone but right on edge. They haven't been shining lately, either. For example, after the NHL All-Star break, Calgary lost to the Rangers (4-5) in overtime and failed to Detroit (1-2). Then they handled Buffalo (7-2) but lost to Ottawa (3-4 in OT) the day before.

Detroit, on the other hand, isn't surprising. The team has no significant ups and downs - they're consistently ranked in the second half of the Eastern standings. The Red Wings are in 12th place with 58 points, fighting for the playoffs. Of course, they are unlikely to continue their performance after the regular season, but you shouldn't ignore them. Detroit has improved recently, though, going on a four-game winning streak over Calgary (2-1), twice over Vancouver (5-2 and 6-1), and also over Edmonton (5-4).

• In the last three meetings, the total over has not been reached.
• Detroit has gained four wins in the last four games.

Even though Detroit is going undefeated, we favor Calgary in this meeting. The Flames outclass the Red Wings. Plus, they lost to them a week ago on the road, although they looked better in that game. Now it's time for them to take revenge at home, which they can do. Also, Detroit has a back-to-back, which will not be suitable for the team's physique. We'll take the hosts' win.
