The Blackhawks attempt to avoid a six-game road losing streak and beat the Flames.
Chicago (29-16-7) opened its season-high nine-game road trip with a 3-2 overtime loss at Vancouver on Tuesday, then fell 8-4 on Thursday at Edmonton, the last-place team in the Northwest Division. Moneyline bettors who got the Oilers at +145 were rewarded, while the 12 combined goals moved the game OVER for totals bettors.
Chicago defeated the Flames (23-22-6) 4-2 at home Dec. 18, but has dropped its last three visits to Calgary by a combined 15-5 margin.
Patrick Kane has 11 goals and 11 assists in 23 career meetings with the Flames, including four points in five playoff games and a goal in last month's home win. The All-Star right wing has six goals and three assists in 11 career games at Scotiabank Saddledome, but was held off the scoresheet when the Blackhawks lost 5-2 in Calgary on Nov. 18.
Last time out for Calgary, they were a 3-1 loser as they battled the Red Wings at home. Moneyline bettors who got the Red Wings at -132 were rewarded, while the 4 combined goals moved the game UNDER for totals bettors.
Jarome Iginla, the team leader with 39 points, has just one goal in his last seven games and is a minus-5 in his last three. The Calgary captain also has just one assist in three meetings with Chicago this season.
Michael Cammalleri scored the Flames' lone goal in Tuesday's loss. It was his second goal since being acquired from Montreal last month, but his first in five games since finding the net in his Flames debut, a 4-1 home defeat to Los Angeles on Jan. 14.
