(NHL) Calgary vs. Ottawa,
Money Line: -147.00 Ottawa (Home)
Result: Win
Money Line: -147.00 Ottawa (Home)
Result: Win
The Calgary Flames opened the season by splitting a home-and-home against the Canucks but have won only one of their last seven since, a 3-2 overtime win at home against Detroit. They're off back-to-back losses at the Big Apple against the two New York teams Sunday/Monday and I don't like their chances when they travel to Ottawa to take on the Senators Wednesday night.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Calgary's Struggle To Find The Net - The Flames have not registered more than three goals in any contest this season and were shut out by the Islanders in a 4-0 defeat Monday. Calgary is third worst offensive team in the league at 1.8 goals per game.
2. Road Woes - The Senators are win-less over their four home games this season but this looks like a perfect spot to finally record that elusive W. They've won four of the last five head-to-head meetings at Canadian Tire Centre and Calgary is a pathetic 1-8 in its last nine road games.
3. X-Factor - The Flames' goaltender Jonas Hiller is 2-3-0 with a 3.52 GAA this season.
Selection: This is a play on the Ottawa Senators (6*)
