Blue Jackets vs Flames — Matchup Breakdown
Calgary’s rush defense has tightened at home, limiting odd-man looks and forcing opponents into low-danger point shots. The Flames’ top six has driven a higher share of slot touches the past week, and their net-front presence has produced second-chance volume that plays in a grindy, whistle-heavy environment.
Columbus leans on transition speed and quick-ups from the defensive zone. If the Blue Jackets can win neutral-zone races and avoid prolonged time hemmed in by Calgary’s cycle, they have the shooters to punish late backchecking. Discipline is pivotal; giving Calgary repeated O-zone faceoffs tilts the ice toward the hosts.
Betting Trends & Market Notes
- Flames have covered or pushed in four of their last five at home when lined between –140 and –170.
- Blue Jackets have hit the Under in five of their last seven when playing on one day’s rest.
- Market support has leaned Calgary in similar price bands when their top line controls OZ starts.
Blue Jackets vs Flames Odds, Prediction & Expert Pick
