Team +/-Canucks +155Flames -12There are no words... Goals For/AgainstCanucks GF 225 / GA 203 +22Flames GF 238 / GA 228 +10The Canucks have a few less goals for, but who cares how many you score if you can't keep it out of your own net? Looking at these numbers, I'm not sure you can make a case for the Flames. With an absolutely appalling plus/minus and a goalie who has come short of Superman, you have a team who seems destined to disappoint. They have been sputtering lately, going just 3-7 in their last 10. They have a couple key injuries and a goalie that is probably pretty tired (69 GP?! Are you mad?! )The Canucks, on the other hand, have been nothing short of spectacular.

83 goals per game, with Elias Lindholm, Nazem Kadri, and the rest of the forward unit controlling the puck into the offensive zone and creating open shots with quick passes near the net.

Miller, and the rest of the forward unit crashing the net on the rush and creating open shots with effective puck movement in the offensive zone while defenseman Quinn Hughes picks apart the Flames defense from the point. The Over should cover in a high-scoring game with both offenses stepping up. Take the Over on 6. 5 goals. Prediction: Over 6.
