Flames vs Red Wings prediction

Flames vs Red Wings best bet: Matvei Gridin Over 1.5 shots (-130)

Calgary Flames winger Matvei Gridin is receiving a late-season audition in an offensive role and has recorded 2+ in 10 of his past 13 games while piling up an impressive 61 attempts.

The 2024 first-round selection averaged a healthy 2.78 shots per game during his AHL stint this season, and the high-volume shooting dates back to putting up 4.21 per game in the QMJHL while making the CHL All-Rookie Team last year.

Finally, the Detroit Red Wings have allowed a healthy 28.1 shots per game out of the Olympic break, too.

Flames vs Red Wings same-game parlay

The Flames have scored the fewest goals per road game (2.18), and the Red Wings have only averaged 2.33 per game out of the Olympic break, so I’m expecting the two teams to continue their trends of low-scoring tilts tonight.

Turning to the final leg of this SGP, Calgary starter Dustin Wolf sports an elite .933 SV% and 2.17 GAA across his past five road starts, and the Flames have allowed 29.2 shots per game since the NHL Trade Deadline.
