Some of the Red Wings' scores have more resembled the NFL than the NHL lately. They've allowed 42 goals in 7 games. Ouch! The game against the Flames is a defensive mismatch, pitting the league's 31st defense against #2. The Flames have a dynamic offense to go with that stellar D, and a hot goalie in Markstrom to boot. They also have the discipline and a very outspoken coach to avoid any thought of taking the Red Wings for granted. Take the Flames on the puck line at -1 1/2. A rare 2 1/2 is available, but that would be tempting fate.
