Who knew betting on the NHL was so easy, right?! Pride goeth before a fall, and all that stuff, so I’m just joking. But still, the NHL has been very, very good to me this season. Let’s keep that trend going tomorrow. For my best bet for Thursday, March 5th: NHL Predictions, we’re off to the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta. Let’s get this money!
Best Bet For Thursday (March 5th): NHL Predictions
Ottawa Senators vs Calgary Flames
Start Time: 9:00 PM EST
We’ve got some Canada vs Canada action tomorrow night out west, as the Ottawa Senators travel across a few provinces to take on the Flames in Calgary. I seem to have been picking against the Flames often recently, and tomorrow is no exception.
It’s nothing personal against the team or the city of Calgary – it’s just that they aren’t good at hockey this season, and yet we’re getting some good moneylines for their opponents. Business, never personal.
The advanced stats rank the Flames as the third-worst team in the league, while the Senators are an above-average one. These teams get the job done (or not done) in opposite manners, with Ottawa having a high-powered offense but a weak defense, while Calgary has the league’s most anemic offense but strong goal prevention.
I like the Senators to sweep the season series with the Flames tomorrow night and for us to cash a nice best bet play.
Best Bet: Ottawa ML (-145)
