Calgary - Montreal: NHL match betting tip
Calgary and Montreal will cross clubs on March 9 in the province of Alberta. The matches between these teams always get very heated, because both clubs are based in Canada. The Flames slowed down at this stage of the season and expectedly left the playoff zone in the West. The Canadiens, on the other hand, improved in all aspects and came close to the top eight in the East. Who can take the important two points? This is stated in the betting tip for the meeting
Command Analysis
Calgary Flames
CanadaCurrent form
Calgary has once again left the playoff zone in the West and is now in ninth place in the conference table. The Canadians have scored 68 points in 62 games and may well drop even lower if they don't start winning right now. At the moment, they are only one point behind Vancouver, which is higher, so they still qualify for the finals of the tournament. In early March, the Canadians played away and lost to Florida (0:3) and Carolina (1:2, OT), but then celebrated their success in Pennsylvania (6:3). Before returning home, Ryan Husky's team was defeated in Texas (2:3, OT).
The Flames regularly lack offensive quality and have scored quite a few goals this season. In the last five games, the Flames have scored only nine times, with six goals going to Philadelphia. Jonathan Huberdeau (22+24) and Nazem Kadri (22+24) remain the leaders of the hosts' offense and have so far scored only 46 points each.
Disqualifications and injuries
Justin Kirkland and Anthony Manta will not be able to play against Calgary.
Interesting betting trends
- Calgary throws 29 times per game on average
- Canadians earn 9.9 penalty minutes per match
Montreal Canadiens
CanadaCurrent form
Montreal added hockey quality in time and rose to the tenth position in the conference table. The team led by Martin Saint-Louis intends to fight for the playoffs and scored 66 points in 62 matches this season. The Canadians are only one scoring point behind Ottawa, which is in eighth position, but the visitors played one more match. They got in great shape and won five out of six matches after the break. At the beginning of the current guest tour, the Habs lost to Edmonton (2:3, OT).
Nick Suzuki's squad was very good at implementing their chances and scored 16 goals in the last five matches. The Canadian himself is the leader of the visitors' attack and scored 65 points (19+46) in the goal+pass system. In addition to him, Cole Coyfield (31+25) can be singled out, who more often than others is in the right place and completes attacks.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kirby Dakh, Keri Price and Kayden Goulet will not participate in the upcoming match. The condition of Patrick Laine and Michael Pezzetta is in question.
Interesting betting trends
- Montreal blocks 15 shots per match
- The Habs make only 26 shots on average per match.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks
In four of the last five games against Calgary, no more than one goal was scored in the first period.
1.93Bet 2nd period: Montreal will score
Montrealscored in the second period in four out of six games.
1.52Tip and bets
Montreal has gained excellent form and can return to the playoff zone in the very near future. The Habs play great after the break and realize their offensive chances well, while playing reliably enough on their own half of the ice. Calgary is clearly not at ease and completely failed the trip in early March. The Flames lack offensive edge, which is why the Flames score very few goals on average during the season. We believe that the guests have an excellent chance of scoring points. We offer a bet on a double second chance.
Our betting tip is that Montreal will not lose in 1.67
Betting on an individual total
Calgary is scoring only 2.63 goals on average this season and is not happy with the good performance of its fans. Yes, Ryan Husky's team looks a little more confident on their home ice, but now they will be visited by a team that is very reliable in defense at this stage of the season. We don't think the hosts will score more than two or three goals.
Prediction - Calgary's individual total is less than three goals in 1.75
Bet on the total
The lights play in a closed style throughout the season and quite rarely meetings with the participation of the flames turn out to be bright. Montreal has improved in terms of reliability now and is unlikely to go ahead from the first seconds. For both teams, the meeting is very important from the point of view of the tournament position, so neither side will take any risks. Let's place a bet on the total less.
Betting Tip - total less than 5.5 goals in 2.00
