ASA TOP PLAY 10* on Calgary Flames Money Line (+) over Dallas Stars, Thursday at 10:30 PM ET

It is hard enough to beat a team back to back in the playoffs let alone three straight! That is part of the reasoning here for backing the hungry dog in this spot. The Stars have won 2 straight in the series to now take a 3-2 series lead and this is a win or go home game for the Flames. We expect Calgary to respond accordingly. The Stars haven't had a 3-game winning streak since mid-February and we don't expect that to change here. Dallas wrapped up the regular season on a 6-game losing streak. Also, in the bubble in Edmonton the Stars had lost 4 of the first 6 games before scoring a couple of very tight victories in Games 4 and 5 of this series. The Flames haven't lost 3 straight games since early February and had won 14 of their last 22 games prior to losing back to back tight games to the Stars. The odds favor this series going 7 games and, per our computer math model, the Flames have high probability for an upset win here. Bet the Calgary Flames on the money line in late night action Thursday.
