NHL Game Day Preview: Flames @ Red Wings

Both teams have been floundering lately as the Detroit has had their wings clipped and the Flames have been flickering. We see the Flames continuing to fizzle, while the Wings will take flight again.

Detroit (5-4-1) started the season like a house on fire at 5-0 but have since lost five straight games. On Tuesday night, against the lowly Minnesota Wild, the Wings allowed the Wild to score with exactly one minute left in the game and then lost 2-1 in overtime.

Calgary (5-4-1) has been up and down all season as they have not won, or lost, more than two games in a row. The Flames laid an egg at home against Vancouver in their last contest on Tuesday. Calgary got whacked 5-1 despite the fact that they outshot the Canucks by a 29-21 margin.

NHL Puck Betting Lines: Red Wings vs. Flames Free Pick

We head back to the NHL 3 Way betting lines, at the BetOnline Sportsbook, for our Red Wings vs. Flames Free Pick wagering odds. We see the decent price on Detroit over Calgary being golden here!

Calgary is a bad hockey team, their lone “star” is fading, and they just made a cross continent trip. The Red Wings are more like the team that started 5-0 than the one that has gone 0-4-1 recently.

There’s nothing quite like a visit by a donkey, to your home barn, to get a hockey team back on the winning track. Take flight with the Wings in this one. We are – with a three unit wager tonight!
