Calgary vs Vancouver Stats

Calgary Flames

The Calgary Flames are headed to Vancouver after finishing a three-game road trip with a record of 1-0-2. Despite struggling defensively, ranking 24th in shots allowed and 27th in penalty kill percentage, the Flames have managed to rank 14th in goals allowed thanks to strong goaltending. Goalie Dan Vladar is expected to start in net for the Flames on Tuesday, with a record of 3-3-2 this season. With a power ranking of 22, Calgary is ranked 18th in offense and 17th in defense, with a 7-5-2 record so far this season. It will take more than just strong goaltending for the Flames to secure a playoff spot.

Vancouver Canucks Analysis

The Vancouver Canucks are currently on a lengthy homestand following a tough loss to the Edmonton Oilers, where they were previously on a three-game win streak. Despite losing their star netminder Thatcher Demko to injury early in the season, the Canucks' defense has stepped up, ranking fifth in shots allowed and eighth in goals allowed. However, their offense has been lacking, ranking 18th in scoring. With the recent injury to Brock Boeser, the Canucks will rely on Kevin Lankinen to start in net. Lankinen has a strong record this season and in the past with the Nashville Predators. The Canucks currently have a power ranking of 15, ranking 15th in offense and 13th in defense with a 7-2-3 record overall. The Canucks will be looking to bounce back and improve their offensive performance in their upcoming games.

Calgary Flames Have Advantage Over Vancouver Canucks in Matchup

The Calgary Flames have shown success on the road this season with a 5-3 record against the puck line. In contrast, the Vancouver Canucks have struggled at home, with a 1-5 record against the puck line. Additionally, the Canucks have a history of underperforming as favorites against the Flames at home, with a 2-5 record in their last 7 games dating back to 2015. The absence of Brock Boeser due to injury further weakens the Canucks' offensive capabilities. Therefore, it is my professional opinion that Vancouver is overvalued as the favorite in this matchup. With these factors in mind, I recommend taking the Calgary Flames at +1.5 in this game.
