Montreal vs Calgary Prediction: Don't Neglect the Flames

Prediction for the NHL Montreal vs Calgary match, which will take place on December 13th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Montreal is no longer as surprising as it was at the start of the season. The team has problems with their conditioning, as evidenced by only two wins in the last five games - 2-1 over Calgary and 4-2 over Montreal. In the other three games, the Canadiens have suffered setbacks - 3-5 to Edmonton, 6-7 to Vancouver, and 2-4 to Los Angeles. So Montreal has a lot of problems in the Atlantic Division standings. They are in sixth place, seven points behind playoff-qualifying Tampa Bay.

Calgary is winless in the last two matches. The overtime defeat to Toronto is nothing to be ashamed of, but 1-3 to Columbus, one of the weakest teams in the NHL, should raise questions about the effectiveness of the Flames' strategy. As for the position in the Pacific Division, they dropped to fifth place, trailing Edmonton.

• Calgary is averaging 3.07 goals per game.
• Calgary has won four of the last five matches.

Somewhat surprisingly, the bookies have entirely ignored the hosts. Sure, we are also more inclined to the visitors' success, but Montreal will not give up so easily. At home, the Canadiens perform productively, scoring 40 goals in 13 games. Of course, Calgary's situation is not so rosy, but the 29 goals in 12 away games is a good indicator. In general, we should bet on a standard total over.
