Canucks at Flames 12/29/18 - NHL Picks & Predictions
The Canucks had a good start to their road trip after Christmas. The Canucks were able to come into the first game back and leapfrog over the Oilers in the standings, but also were able to beat the Oilers as well in the return by a score of 4-2 in Edmonton. With the Canucks the team would like to be able to build upon that even more, but the Oilers are a far weaker team than the Flames.

Betting Trends for vs
While the Flames have had some struggles, they are still a division leading team and have a defense that has shut down some of the best offenses on the year, which is something the Canucks do not have. Look for the Flames defense to be able to settle down the Canucks offense as the team has some issues in getting the puck to the scoring players as the Flames bring home a win here. Final Score Prediction, Calgary Flames win 4-2.
