The Detroit Red Wings will be hosting the Calgary Flames on Monday night. I am sure the Red Wings have this one circled as a must-win on their calendar. The Red Wings are narrowly hanging onto the final wildcard playoff spot in the Eastern conference, and going up against a Flames team that is in a rebuilding stage should be a mandatory two points. The Red Wings are riding a three-game losing streak and I expect they will be putting that to an end on Monday. Good news is they will be on home ice where they are very good. They have an 18-11-3 record at the Little Caesars Arena. On the flip side of this, the Flames are brutal on the road. They are 10-21-3 on the road this season.

The Flames offense has plagued them all season long. They are the worst offensive team in the league, averaging only 2.47 goals per game. With Nazem Kadri gone, their leading point scorer has only 38 points in 66 games. This won’t be enough to keep up with a hungry Red Wings team. Give me the Red Wings in this one.

Flames vs Red Wings prediction: Red Wings -1.5 (+145) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
