This is a 10* TOTAL EXPRESS on the OVER between the Calgary Flames and the Vancouver Canucks.
REASONING: These Western Conference foes both come into this one with winning records. Calgary is 21-17-1-1, while Vancouver is 19-18-2-1. This is the opener of a home and home set and as such, we're expecting each to push the pace from start to finish. Calgary comes in off a relatively simple 4-1 win over the Avs at home. Goaltender Brian Elliot is 8-9-1 with a 2.90 GAA this year. The Flames are the 15th ranked offensive team in averaging 2.68 GPG, while ranked 14th on the defensive end in allowing 2.78 per game. The Canucks had a nine-game losing streak going earlier in the season, but have since won five straight, most recently a 3-0 victory over the Coyotes on Wednesday. Goaltender Ryan Miller is 11-10-1 with a 2.65 GAA and is 6-5-1 with a 2.70 career GAA against the Flames. Vancouver averages 2.40 GPG and allows 2.88 per contest thus far. Note that Calgary has seen the total go OVER in 42 of its last 72 after scoring four goals or more in its prevoius game, while Vancouver has seen the total go OVER in seven of its last 11 after shutting out its opponent in its previous outing. All signs point to a shootout, play the OVER.
