Detroit Red Wings - Calgary Flames - NHL

We turn our focus to the NHL: Detroit Red Wings will host the Calgary Flames tonight; Calgary begins a 6-game road trip. The game will start at 7:30 p.m. ET at Joe Louis Arena, and will be on NHLN, SN, TVA Sports, FS-D, NHL.TV.  The Red Wings scratched 3 players- Xavier Ouellet, Brendan Smith, and Tyler Bertuzzi; Injured: Tomas Jurco (back), Darren Helm (upper body), Andreas Athanasiou (lower body). The Flames scratched Jyrki Jokipakka and Linden Vey; Injured: Ladislav Smid (neck), Kris Versteeg (groin), Lance Bouma (upper body), Johnny Gaudreau (finger). The Red Wings have lost 3 straight games and are 2-7-1 in their last 10 games. They've been shut out in 2 of the past 3 games, so I expect them to finally score some goals today. The Flames have 7-11-1 record, 6th in the Pacific Division. They are 28th in "Goals Against" category this season, showing weak defense. The official, basic Las Vegas game line for  O/U is  (5.5  Goals). With that said, I pick the "Alternative Goal Line" option @ BET365 (Over 3.5 Gls.). (Unless the amount to bet is specified, our predictionis made for a $100 wager).

UPDATE November 21, 2016 - FINAL Result:  Detroit Red Wings  2-3  Calgary Flames. This was 'over 4 goals' scoring game, as we predicted - 5 goals scored total - our Bet of Over 3.5 G. easily WON again.   Flames handed the Red Wings a 4th straight loss. Dougie Hamilton gоt 3 assists in the Calgary win.  Mikael Backlund broke a tie with 7:46 remaining to lead the Calgary Flames to a 3-2 win against the Detroit Red Wings at Joe Louis Arena on Sunday. Chad Johnson made 21 saves for Calgary (8-11-1), which opened a season-long 6-game road trip.  Jimmy Howard made 23 saves for the R. Wings (8-10-1), who have lost 4 straight games now.
