Blue Jackets vs Flames NHL Key Stats
The Jackets have had a miserable season offensively, as they have only been able to score 117 goals this season. Major contributions have come from players like Johnny Gaudreau and Patrik Laine, with both scoring 13 goals each. They have to improve considerably as an offensive unit to make a better mark in the upcoming games.
The defense has performed similarly to their offense and has completely let them down by conceding close to four goals per game. The whole defensive setup needs to step up in the coming games to provide something considerable for the team.
The Flames have scored 145 goals this season, through contributions from Tyler Toffoli, Elias Lindholm, and Nazem Kadri. These three have been the only feeding points on offense with over 115 goal contributions.
Their defense has been decent this season, conceding less than three goals per game. Though with incosistency creeping in, they have to make changes to reassure themselves with better displays in future games.
Blue Jackets vs Flames NHL Betting Prediction
The game is very much in control of the Flames being the home team due to a better team setup. They have played well overall against teams with a losing record and also have a great record against the Jackets at home. We expect them to make full use of the situation and do enough to win this game.
Prediction: Flames, -1.5(-145)
