Flames vs. Kraken Preview
The Flames are allowing 3.53 goals per game, which ranks 27th in the NHL. Their power play has been quietly lethal, ranking fourth on the year, which is good news for them because they aren't effective in 5-on-5 situations.
The Kraken have similarly had a tough time keeping the puck out of the net, ranking 29th in goals allowed per game. What's been a challenge for Seattle has been the penalty kill, where they rank 30th on the year. That's bad news against an effective Flames' power play.
Then, we have to consider that these are familiar opponents. This will already be the fourth meeting of the year. Check out the scorelines of the previous matchups: 6-2 (Oct. 30), 6-1 (Oct. 4), 6-1 (Oct. 1).
When you consider these factors, it's easy to see why I like Over 6.5 in this spot.
