Calgary Flames at Chicago Blackhawks Picks & Betting Tips


Calgary are looking to improve an inconsistent December record to beat a Chicago Blackhawks side who seem to be getting better under Derek King but not much better as they have lost 2 games out of the last 3.

The Flames are 2-3-1 in the festive month and are backed to make it a 3rd win in 7 games, but It won’t be made easy and if the new Blackhawks show up it should only be a low scoring game.

  • Chicago Blackhawks have a record of 9-6-0 under Derek King this season
  • Derek King took over as coach on November 6th
  • The Rangers’ road record is 11-4-2
  • Calgary Flames are 2nd in the Pacific Division
  • Chicago Blackhawks are 7th in the Central Division

Head To Head


  • Calgary Flames lead the series this season 1-0 after beating the Blackhawks 5-2 on November 24th
  • Chicago lead the all-time series winning 77 games to the Flame’s 74 wins

Calgary Flames Form


Calgary Flames have shown that they are more comfortable on the road than they are back in Calgary winning 11 games out of 15 on the road.

But they have hit a bump in the road as of late losing 4 games in a row and have been overtaken by the Anaheim Ducks in the pacific division. 

The main threat that wants to help Calgary turn this bad form into a couple of wins before Christmas is 28-year-old LW Johnny Gaudreau. He leads the team in assists and points and doesn’t look to stop there in his 9th season in Calgary colors. 

Another threat for the Flames is Elias Lindholm, who is 2nd in the points tally behind Gaudreau by 3 points. He has also had an impact in the last 5 games scoring the most goals in the poor run for the flames.

The Flames have a 85.7% Penalty Kill rate which is the 5th highest in the league.

Jacob Markstrom has a goal against average is 1.94 and a save percentage of .933. He also has 5 shutouts this season.

Chicago Blackhawks Form 


Chicago are looking to pick up a 4th win in 7 games to try to pick up the form that was shown when King was brought in in the first week of November. 

There has been a change in regime which has shown a upward turn in results but they are now not picking up the wins but are closer to their opponents than they were under Jeremy Colliton.

The main threat this season for the Blackhawks in this up and down season is 23-year-old LW Alex DeBrincat. He leads the goals tally for the Blackhawks scoring 14 goals this season, but he has been struggling not scoring in the last 4 games and will look to use his 20.33 average time on ice to good use when Calgary come to town.

Seth Jones is proof that you can help an attack by being there as a defenseman leading the points for Chicago with 23 points. 20 of Jones’ points have been assists and it shows that long passes forward or starting attacks from the back has been successful for the Blackhawks this season.

Chicago fans need to realise that this season will be rebuilding, and the next few years could be hard but as I know too well that isn’t the way Chicago fans think and feel as they will want a positive turn in form sooner rather than later.

The Blackhawks have a 48.6% Faceoff win rate which is the 21th highest in the league.

Marc-Andre Fleury has a goal against average is 2.79 and a save percentage of .913. He also has 2 shutouts this season.

Verdict

Both teams haven’t had a great time in December, but one team has to bounce back after a loss, and I can’t see anything other than a Flames win. 

I think it will be a low scoring affair and will go down to the defense and the goaltenders to determine who picks up the win at the United Center.
