Command Analysis
Calgary Flames
CanadaCurrent form
Calgary plans to keep its place in the top eight in the West, but so far the Canadians do not feel comfortable. The Flames scored 71 points in 64 games and have the same number of points as Vancouver, but the Canucks played one more game. Right now, Ryan Husky's team is in good shape and has not been without scoring points for five consecutive games. At the start of the current home series, they beat Montreal (1-0), but a few days later they could not break the resistance of the killer whales (3:4, B).
The Lights don't play as well offensively and they rarely score in large numbers. Calgary is scoring only 2.61 goals per game this season, while in the last seven games, the Canadians scored only 13 accurate shots. Nazem Kadri (23+25) and Jonathan Huberdeau (24+24) remain the leaders of the hosts' attack. Both Canadians scored 48 points each in the regular season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Justin Kirkland and Anthony Manta will not be able to play against Colorado. Mikael Backlund has not confirmed his status.
Interesting betting trends

- Canadians earn 9.78 penalty minutes per match
Colorado Avalanche
USACurrent form
Colorado has been rocking for a long time in the new year, but has gradually gained good shape and is now actively improving its position in the West. The Denver State team has moved up to fourth place in the conference and could be even higher if it continues to win. Jared Bednar's team returned after the break and posted a six-game winning streak. The visitors have 81 scoring points in their piggy bank and are five points behind Dallas, which played two fewer games. Gabriel Landeskug's squad played well on home ice, but lost to Minnesota (1:2, B).
The Avalanches are playing great on offense at this stage of the season. In the previous five matches, they scored 22 goals, while only once they failed to score at least three goals. The avalanche differ 3.33 times per meeting, and the houses look much stronger on the other half of the court. Nathan McKinnon leads the bombardier race (27+75) and recently surpassed the 1,000-point mark in his career.
Disqualifications and injuries
Thatcher Demko and Noah Julsen will not come to the province of Alberta. The condition of Quinn Hughes is still in question.
Interesting betting trends
- Colorado blocks 17 shots in a duel
- The Avalanche make 29 shots on average per match.

1.62Tip and bets
Calgary has been playing pretty well on its own ice throughout the season and is scoring most of the points in the province of Alberta. The Canadians have gained good form and regularly cling to a positive result in early spring. As for Colorado, the Denverians were very strong at home, but they couldn't start as confidently away. We think that Ryan Husky's team will be able to put up a decent resistance to the opponent and will not lose with a rout. We offer a bet on winning first with a plus handicap.
Our prediction is that Calgary willwinwith an Asian handicap (+1) for 1.75
Betting on an individual total
Colorado scored a lot in early March, but as soon as the Avalanches left Denver, they immediately had problems ahead. Calgary is good at defending at home, while in the province of Alberta, the Flames concede only 2.7 times per match. We believe that the hosts will be able to withstand the pressure of the opponent and they will not miss too much. Let's take a bet on the total less than the second one.
Betting Tip - Colorado's individual total is less than 3.5 goals in 1.60
Bet on the total
Calgary will play defensively, while Colorado also does not run forward on the road. The Avalanches are not very successful offensively and score only 2.97 goals on average per match. We think that the hosts will dry up the game in every possible way and it will not be spectacular. We don't believe in bright hockey this Saturday. Let's play a bet on the total number of dropped goals.
Betting Tip - total less than 5.5 goals in 1.95
