Florida - Calgary: NHL match betting tip
Florida will try to beat Calgary on March 1 on home ice. The Panthers are fighting for leadership in the Atlantic Division and have gained good form by the end of the winter. The Canadians, on the other hand, cannot gain a foothold in the playoff zone in the West and regularly drop out of the top eight of their conference. In December, the Flames outplayed the Cats in Alberta. Will the hosts be able to take revenge? Read our betting tip for the confrontation
Command Analysis
Florida Panthers
USACurrent form
Florida is in second place in the conference, but it may drop lower, because the Panthers played one more game than Toronto. Paul Maurice's players have scored 75 points in 60 starts and may well become the new leader of the Atlantic Division. Since January 27, the hosts have lost only two matches and greatly improved the quality of the game. After the break, the Cats lost at home to Seattle (1-2), then defeated Nashville (4-1) in Tennessee. Before returning to their home ice, Alexander Barkov's squad defeated Edmonton (4:3). The Panthers took the lead three times during the meeting with the Oilers and eventually held the desired result.
The hosts have improved their chances and scored 17 accurate shots in the last five games. Sam Reinhart remains the Panthers' top scorer throughout the regular season. The forward is constantly involved in the team's attacks and scored 64 points (31+33). He is followed by Matthew Tkachuk (22+35), who was injured and is currently in the infirmary.
Sergey Bobrovsky had a weak start to the season, but gradually gained form and regained his role as a solid number one. The Russian deflected 90.22% of shots in his possession and made two shutouts in 39 matches. Spencer Knight regularly gets his chances and misses after every tenth attack on his possessions. This goalkeeper has good prospects, because he is only 23 years old.
Disqualifications and injuries
Matthew Tkachuk will not play in the match against the Flames.
Interesting betting trends
- Florida gets 9.58 minutes of penalty time per match
On average, Americans are eliminated at least five times per game.
- Florida has 79.3% neutralization of the opponent's majority
The Panthers are not playing their best game in the minority and are ranked 15th in the league by this indicator.
Calgary Flames
CanadaCurrent form
Calgary continues to struggle to qualify for the playoffs and is currently ranked ninth in the West. The Canadians have 64 points on their account after 58 matches and are one point behind Vancouver, which is going higher, but at the same time they have one meeting in reserve. The guests play erratically throughout the season, and in February they alternate between wins and losses. Before the break, the Flames lost three games in a row, but the Flames began the second half of the month with victories over San Jose (3:2) and Washington (3:1). Arriving in Florida, Ryan Husky's team lost to the local Tampa (0:3). A club from the province of Alberta threw an opponent, but could not break through Andrei Vasilevsky.
Mikael Backlund's squad is experiencing problems in terms of creating and implementing the moments ahead. In the previous five games, she scored only ten times, while Jonathan Huberdeau (22+21) and Nazem Kadri (20+23) are at the very bottom of the list of the top hundred scorers in the league. Both forwards scored 43 points apiece, and without them, the visitors can't do anything offensively.
Dustin Wolf remains one of the Canadians' hopes this season. The Calgary goalkeeper deflected 91.24% of shots on his own goal and had two dry duels. Daniel Vladar looks much worse. The Czech goalkeeper made a modest 89.15% of saves and appeared on the ice in 23 games. It is unlikely that a European will have more game practice than he has now.
Disqualifications and injuries
Justin Kirkland and Anthony Manta will not be able to help their team in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- Calgary gets 9.95 minutes of penalty time
The lights are removed at least five times per match on average.
- The Flames have 57:68 on goals scored and conceded in the third period.
Calgary concedes more in the third period than in the rest of the segments.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 goals
In the last 7 out of 12 games with the Panthers, at least two goals were scored in the first period.
1.80Bet 3rd period: "Florida" will score
The Panthers scored in the third period in 11 out of 14 games.
1.35Tip and bets
Florida has gained excellent form and looks very strong after the break. It didn't take long for the Panthers to build up, and in the previous two matches, Paul Maurice's players played great offensively. The hosts continue to fight for the leadership in the conference and are in great need of points. Calgary surprised the US capital by beating Washington, but the visitors spent too much effort and could not score against Tampa in the last game. In December, the lights easily beat the cats, but now we are waiting for the opposite result. We offer a bet on the victory of Alexander Barkov's squad in regular time.
Prediction - Florida wins in 1.79
Betting on an individual total
Florida has increased its reliability and improved its puck score at home to 2.7. Calgary has been having problems offensively throughout the season, while the team from Alberta province differs only 2.37 times per match on the road. Sergey Bobrovsky has finally got into good shape and has been doing quite well lately at the last line of defense.
We bet on Calgary's individual total of less than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.65
Bet on the total total
The match between the teams in December did not turn out to be productive, and then the cats could not score a single goal at all. The drawing of the game is unlikely to be different now. The Canadian team operates with a constant eye on its goal and does not run into the attack with all its legs. We think that the opponents will try to play reliably and there will be no more than five accurate shots in the match. Let's place a bet on the total less.
We take a total of less than 5.5 pucks with a coefficient of 1.95
