Flames vs Canucks | OddsShark Matchup Report
The Canucks put together a solid effort on Monday night in their final game against the Toronto Maple Leafs as they outshot the Maple Leafs 32-19 and entered the third period with the game tied at 1-1. But goaltending was the difference as Frederik Andersen turned aside 31 of the 32 shots that he faced while Braden Holtby made only 16 saves in Toronto’s 3-1 win at home. The Canucks have now been outscored 26-10 over their current five-game losing streak which consists of two road losses in Montreal and three road losses in Toronto.
In their last 11 games as a betting underdog at home, the Canucks are 9-2 per the OddsShark NHL Database. Those two losses over that stretch came in their last two games as a home underdog this season.
Like the Canucks, Calgary has been better at home this season with a record of 4-2 than it has been on the road with a record of 2-3-1. The Flames enter this three-game road trip against the Canucks on a two-game winning streak after defeating the Edmonton Oilers 6-4 on Saturday and the Winnipeg Jets 3-2 on Tuesday. Jacob Markstrom has been rock solid in goal for the Flames this season with a 6-3-1 record to go along with a 2.50 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage.
Thursday night’s total is set at 6.5 goals at betting sites. The OVER is 10-4 in Vancouver’s last 14 games against Calgary.
Only one point separates the Flames and the Canucks in the North Division standings, but Calgary currently has four games in hand on Vancouver. The Canucks play their next four games against the Flames and would love to put some wins together against a team so close to them in the standings.
