Flyers vs. Flames Preview
Philadelphia and Calgary are two of the worst offenses in hockey, and I don’t see either one finding much tonight.
The Flyers rank last in goals per 60 minutes at 2.14, and the Flames are 29th at 2.47. It isn’t just bad luck, either. Calgary ranks 29th in expected goals for per 60, and Philadelphia is 31st.
When the chances do come, neither team has been able to finish them. The Flames are shooting 6.68% at 5-on-5, 31st in the league, and the Flyers are 30th at 7.48%. Calgary hasn’t shown signs of breaking out lately, scoring just 2.33 goals per 60 over the last six games.
Calgary’s net actually looks pretty solid either way, too. Dustin Wolf has a .915 save percentage over his last four starts, and Devin Cooley was activated Thursday after missing a week with a lower-body injury. With Wolf in net Friday against Anaheim, Cooley could get the start tonight.
Cooley has a .914 save percentage and 2.2 goals saved above expected through seven games.
Philadelphia does allow plenty of chances, but the Flames haven’t been able to cash in on much of anything this season.
Still, neither team has scored consistently enough to scare me off plus money at 5.5. I’ll take the under.
Best Bet: Under 5.5 (+104, FanDuel)
