Command Analysis
Detroit Red Wings
USACurrent form
The Wings were able to improve their position in the East a little thanks to victories over the Islanders (2:1 and 4:2) over the last five days. Detroit rose to 13th place in the conference and has 20 points after 21 games. The club from Michigan has been playing poorly in November and has only been able to win three games since November 8. Derek Lalonde men completely failed in the last away series and scored only two points in four games, and recently broke the losing streak by winning in New York. The Wings were in the role of catch-up almost the entire match, but they managed to sharply step up at the end and score three goals against the Isles in the final ten minutes of regulation time.
Michigan has been playing poorly on defense lately, allowing 14 goals in their last five games. This season, Detroit is allowing 3.1 goals per game, while at home they are about equal to their away numbers. Cameron Talbot is currently the team number one and is playing slightly better than Alex Lyon. At the same time, the latter is increasingly appearing in the starting lineup and is gradually getting into shape. It was Lyon who brought his club two victories in games against the Islanders.
Lucas Raymond remains the team leading scorer with 20 points (5+15) in the goal+pass system. Alex DeBrincat (8+9) and Dylan Larkin (12+6) have already come close to him. The hosts' captain currently holds the status of the club leading sniper.
Disqualifications and injuries
Patrick Kane is injured and will not play against Calgary.
Interesting trends for betting
- Detroit is allowing an average of 3.1 goals per game.
Krylia have failed to improve their defense in recent matches and have only worsened their defensive performance.
- The Red Wings win 49.8% of their faceoffs.
Derek Lalonde players have started to perform a little better at the point and win the puck for their teammates more often.
Calgary Flames
CanadaCurrent form
Calgary is in fourth place in the West, with 27 points after 22 starts. The Canadians have surprised with their results this fall, and few could have bet that the Flames would be one of the conference leaders. In the second half of November, Ryan Huskey team had a series of four wins in a row, which was interrupted in a match against Ottawa (3:4). The Flames managed to open the scoring in a match against the Sens, but they were unable to maintain the lead and lost the second period, which did not allow the visitors to earn points.
Calgary defense is great at home, but not very reliable on the road. On average, the Canadians allow exactly as many goals as they score this season - 2.77 goals per game. Dustin Wolfe played a great series of games in the province of Alberta and improved his save percentage to 92.08%. In 12 games, the American has only one shutout.
Not a single Flames player is among the league top 100 scorers. Rasmus Andersson is 134th with 13 points (5+8) in the goal-pass system. Jonathan Huberdeau (7+5) and Nazem Kadri (6+6) are very close to him.
Disqualifications and injuries
Anthony Mantha won't help his teammates in Michigan.
Interesting trends for betting
- The Flames have been receiving nearly 10 minutes of penalty time in recent games.
The visitors are often sent off and therefore often concede when they are short-handed.
- Calgary blocks 17 shots per game
The Flames' defense often sacrifices itself for the team goalies and often blocks a lot of shots.
Trends
Bet 2nd period: total under 1.5 goals
In four of Detroit previous five games, the second period was scoreless.
2.25Bet 3rd period: Calgary will score
The Canadians have been playing well in the third periods and have scored in them for five games in a row.
1.47Tip and bets
Calgary can be considered an exclusively home team. The Flames play well in the province of Alberta with the support of their home crowd, but on the road they managed to earn a modest nine points in ten games. Detroit is gradually coming to its senses and Derek Lalonde charges have begun to win a little more often. After another strong-willed victory over the Islanders, the hosts should be in a great mood. We believe that the Wings will be able to take advantage of home ice and win the match. Prediction - Detroit wins the match for 1.87
Bet on individual total Detroit lacks offensive sharpness, which is the reason for the club weak results in this part of the season. Calgary plays great defense, even if not so reliably on the road. We think that the Canadians will still be able to cope with the not very strong attack of the "wings" and will not concede more than three times in this game. We bet on Detroit individual total of less than three goals with odds of 1.65
Total Bet
Head-to-head meetings between the teams have often been productive, but this time things should be different. Calgary plays great defense, and the Red Wings are not as good on offense as they were in previous years. We do not expect the opponents to play on opposite courses and suggest betting on the total under goals.
We take the total under 1.65 pucks for 1.65
