The Lean

If you’re looking for a moneyline pick, my choice is the Flames to take down the Kraken at home. With the moneyline currently at -135, I’m placing my bet on the Flames straight-up.

When it comes to my suggested pick for the puck line, I’d advise taking the Kraken to cover. Even in the event of a Flames victory, this matchup is likely to remain closely contested, and the Kraken should cover the puck line.

If you’re looking at the over/under line set at 5.5 goals, our prediction is that this game will exceed that mark, and we strongly advise placing a bet on the over.

Streaking Flames Battle Kraken in Critical Playoff Push

The Calgary Flames are in the heat of the playoff race and know they control their own destiny as they prepare to host the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday night. Sitting just four points behind the St. Louis Blues for the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference, the Flames (33-25-11, 77 points) hold three crucial games in hand. With 13 games remaining in the regular season, every point counts as they aim to close the gap and secure a postseason spot.

Returning home after a successful road trip where they won three straight games, the Flames are riding a wave of momentum. Head coach Ryan Huska expressed his satisfaction with the team’s recent performances, stating, “I’m really pleased with the way the guys played on the road trip. Now, it’s going home and making sure we’re going to keep the momentum going.”

Flames Riding High on Momentum

The Flames opened their road trip with a disappointing loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, but they bounced back to sweep three consecutive games against New York-area teams, including a comeback victory over the New Jersey Devils. Forward Matt Coronato has been a key contributor, riding a three-game goal-scoring streak in which he has netted four goals.

Coronato emphasized the team’s resilience and determination:
“This group has so much heart, so much compete, and we need to bring our best every night from here on out. I think our energy level (will) be high. We’re excited for these last games.”

Calgary also looks to get some reinforcements at just the right time. Defenseman MacKenzie Weegar (lower-body injury) and forward Joel Farabee (illness) are expected to return to the lineup, while captain Mikael Backlund, who has missed the past five games with an upper-body injury, fully participated in practice on Monday.

Head coach Ryan Huska addressed Backlund’s potential return:
“We have to see how he reacts after practice. We’ll kind (of) go from there.”

Kraken on the Brink of Elimination

While the Flames are fighting for a playoff berth, the Seattle Kraken (30-36-5, 65 points) are teetering on the edge of elimination. Sitting 16 points out of a playoff spot with just 11 games remaining, their chances are bleak. They arrive in Calgary on a two-game losing streak, including a 5-4 loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday.

Seattle forward Kaapo Kaako expressed the team’s frustration after the loss:
“I think everyone in this room knows we’ve got to be better and play harder. There were good times out there when we played pretty good. We got good chances and it was a pretty tight game in the end. We’ve just got to find a way in these games.”

Despite the tough season, the Kraken have seen some promising developments. Rookies Matty Beniers and Shane Wright are emerging as cornerstone players, with Beniers recently surpassing the 20-goal mark and Wright sitting just behind him with 17 goals. Veteran forward Jordan Eberle praised the growth of both players:
“Wrighter has obviously taken a step ever since, really, December. His speed is very underrated. His shot is underrated. He’s got a lot of tools that make him an offensive threat.”

Key Matchup: Flames’ Offense vs. Kraken’s Defense

The Flames will be looking to capitalize on their offensive momentum, driven by the likes of Matt Coronato and Elias Lindholm. With their lineup getting healthier, Calgary’s forward depth could pose significant challenges for the Kraken’s inconsistent defense.

The Kraken will need a strong performance from their young stars, including Beniers and Wright, if they hope to counter Calgary’s offensive push. Goalie Philipp Grubauer is expected to shoulder the load between the pipes, but he’ll need support from his defense to keep the high-flying Flames in check.
