Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis

Over the last two seasons, the Ottawa Senators and the Calgary Flames have faced off three times, with the Senators emerging victorious in two of those encounters while the Flames claimed one win. These matchups occurred within the regular season games of the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 NHL seasons. In each instance, the home team secured the win, indicating a strong home-ice advantage in this particular series. When it comes to betting statistics, the Senators have covered the spread twice, whereas the Flames have done so once. Regarding the over-under totals, bettors who wagered on the under would have been successful in two out of the three games, with only one game going over the set total. Delving into the game stats, the Senators have shown a robust offensive performance, particularly in their most recent game, where they scored four goals. The Flames, on the other hand, have struggled to keep up, managing to score more than one goal in only one of the three games. The Senators have also demonstrated a more disciplined game with fewer penalty minutes in two of the three games, which may have contributed to their success.

The most recent game between the Ottawa Senators and the Calgary Flames took place on November 11, 2023, and ended with a 4-1 victory for the Senators. In this game, Ottawa capitalized on their home-ice advantage, with Mathieu Joseph, Drake Batherson, Rourke Chartier, and Travis Hamonic all contributing to the score sheet. The Senators’ goaltender, Joonas Korpisalo, delivered an impressive performance with a save percentage of 0.96, stopping 24 out of 25 shots on goal. The Flames’ lone goal came from Blake Coleman, with Dustin Wolf in net, who saved 34 out of 38 shots, resulting in a save percentage of 0.895. Ottawa’s power play unit was effective, converting 20% of their opportunities, while Calgary failed to score on their power play chances. The Senators also dominated in faceoffs, winning 34 compared to the Flames’ 25, which may have played a role in controlling the game’s pace and maintaining possession.

Ottawa Senators vs. Calgary Flames Predictions

The Calgary Flames are looking to snap a 2-game losing streak and improve their standing in the Western Conference, where they currently sit 12th. The Flames have shown some offensive prowess with Blake Coleman leading the team with 15 goals, but consistency has been an issue. Calgary’s performance at the Scotiabank Saddledome will be crucial, as they have a better record at home (9-7-1) compared to their road games. The Flames will need to capitalize on their home-ice advantage and look to key players like Nazem Kadri, who tops the team with 17 assists, to spark their offense.

The Ottawa Senators, on the other hand, are at the bottom of the Eastern Conference and are on a 3-game losing streak. Despite their struggles, the Senators have some bright spots with Brady Tkachuk leading the team with 16 goals and Tim Stutzle contributing a team-high 34 points. Ottawa will need to improve their road game performance, where they’ve only managed 4 wins so far. The Senators’ ability to convert on power plays and their performance in faceoffs could be deciding factors in this matchup.

Defensively, both teams have room for improvement, with neither team excelling in keeping the puck out of their net. The Flames will likely rely on their goaltending to keep them in the game, while the Senators will need to tighten up their defense to stifle Calgary’s attack. This game could come down to key player matchups, such as the Flames’ top scorer Coleman going head-to-head with the Senators’ defensive unit, and whether the Senators’ top point-getter Stutzle can outmaneuver Calgary’s defense. With both teams eager to climb up the standings, expect a competitive battle on the ice.

Ottawa Senators vs. Calgary Flames Pick

Considering the current trends and statistics, the ‘Over’ pick seems to be the most justified for the upcoming game between the Ottawa Senators and the Calgary Flames. Both teams have shown a tendency to hit the over in their recent games, with the Senators hitting 21 overs and the Flames hitting 22 overs this season. Additionally, the Senators have been particularly prone to high-scoring games on the road, with 8 overs out of 15 road games. The Flames have also surpassed the total line in 9 out of 17 home games, suggesting that when playing at the Scotiabank Saddledome, they are involved in contests where the offense takes the spotlight. Furthermore, the last head-to-head matchup saw a combined total of 5 goals, indicating that when these two teams meet, the scoreboard can get busy.

Another factor to consider is the offensive capabilities of both teams’ key players. The Senators’ Tim Stutzle and the Flames’ Blake Coleman have been consistent in finding the back of the net, which could lead to a high-scoring affair. Although the historic head-to-head data shows a mix of outcomes regarding the over-under, the current form of both teams, combined with their offensive threats, suggests that this game could follow the trend of their season performances rather than their past encounters. With both teams eager to break their losing streaks, an aggressive approach to the game is expected, which often results in more scoring opportunities and, consequently, a higher likelihood of the total going over.

The Pick: Over 6.5 -125 (Bet365)
