| NHL | (7) Seattle Kraken at (8) Calgary Flames: Moneyline | 9:37pm EST - Jan 5/2026 |
The PLAY: Calgary Flames -160
Both these teams have been playing well. Off a 4-3 (S/O) win at Vancouver, the Kraken are 6-1 their past seven. They earned points in all seven of those games. The Flames lost 4-3 against Nashville last game but are still 3-1 their past four and 5-2 their past seven. Note that Calgary is 4-0 the past four times it was coming off a loss. The Nashville result notwithstanding, the Flames are a much stronger team on home ice. They're 12-6-2 at home compared to 6-13-2 on the road. Knowing they hit the road after this game, look for the Flames to bounce back and take care of business on home ice.
