Calgary vs Pittsburgh: No winner in regulation time

Let us tell you what to expect from this matchup and advise you on some great betting options.

Calgary are battling Edmonton for the lead in the Pacific Division. At the end of 21 games, the Flames have 29 points, one point less than their rival. However, a win over the Penguins could change all that. Calgary hosted Winnipeg in their last game. It would seem that a rank-and-file mid-tier club must beat and earn points, but it wasn’t to be. The Flames suffered a two-goal defeat (2-4) at home.

Pittsburgh also made a ridiculous mistake in the last game, losing, you might say, to an outsider, Montreal, by a score of 3-6. Before that, however, the Penguins had not lost in five games in a row. In the Eastern Conference standings, Pittsburgh are right in the middle of the pack (eighth), while in the Capital One division, they sit fifth, with 24 points and a four-point lead over sixth-place New Jersey.

Both Calgary and Pittsburgh were excellent in the last five-game stretch. Both teams have four wins and one defeat under their belt. The bookmakers have decided that the Flames have a better chance to win than the Penguins, but we don’t know for sure. We think there will be a lot of scoring in this game, and the winner will be decided in overtime or a shootout.
