Two Canadian teams go head to head tonight
The Calgary Flames will be in Ottawa on Tuesday night to take on the Senators in some all Canadian NHL action. Game time is at 7:35pm ET and Sportsbook.com have good odds for the game.
Calgary come in as the underdogs on the road at +125 (5/4) while the Senators are home favorites at -145 (20/29) and the recent history of these two teams suggests that Ottawa have the best value.
Ottawa have surged into the playoff picture as they have won 9 of their last 10 games. They are coming off of a loss but that was a road loss and now they are back at home, where they play their best hockey.
Calgary, to the disappointment of their fans, have really faded in their division. They only have 3 wins in their last 10 games and that makes them a tough team to pick only priced at +125.
The curveball in this game is that Calgary are a good road team at 15-8-6 on the year. However keep in mind that overtime losses are losses for betting purposes, so really the Flames are 15-14 straight up, which isn't that impressive.
Our recommendation is to bet Ottawa to return to their winning ways and -145 looks like a good bet to pound. If you want longer odds then consider picking Ottawa to cover a spread of -1.5 as that line has odds of +200 (2/1).
