Flames have been let down by an awful offense

The Flames are wrapping up a season to forget with their offense letting them down, scoring only 2.55 goals per game with only four goals in the last two games. Matthew Coronato and Mikael Backlund have scored 33 goals and 50 assists but the rest of the offense has struggled. Only seven active skaters have seven goals or more and opponents can eliminate the hapless offense as a result.

The offense has let the Flames down but the defense has struggled as well, allowing 3.17 goals per game. Kevin Bahl and Yan Kuznetsov have combined for 6.9 defensive point shares but the rest of the unit has struggled, allowing opponents to find open shots on the net at will. Additionally, goaltender Dustin Wolf has struggled in his latest starts, allowing 12 goals in the last three.

Seattle has struggled on offense all season

The Kraken are having a season to forget with their offense struggling and scoring only 2.77 goals per game. Jordan Eberle and Matty Beniers have scored 44 goals and 57 assists but the rest of the offense has struggled. Only six skaters have 12 goals or more and opponents can limit the top-heavy offense as a result.

Additionally, goaltender Joey Daccord has struggled, allowing 19 goals in his last five starts.

Flames vs Kraken Pick

Money Line Pick For Flames vs Kraken

  • Kraken (-140) (4 units)

The Kraken look to keep their slim playoff hopes alive, and I see them taking over this game from the first period. The Kraken should constantly find the back of the net against a Flames defense that allows 3.17 goals per game, with Jordan Eberle and Matty Beniers controlling the puck in the offensive zone and creating open shots with quick passes. The Kraken should limit the Flames offense, which averages only 2.55 goals per game, with Jamie Oleksiak and Adam Larsson creating turnovers while limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Joey Daccord to step up and make plenty of big saves. The Kraken should win the game with a strong performance on their home ice.

Take the Kraken money line as home Favorites.

Over/Under Pick For Flames vs Kraken

  • Under 6 (4 units)

Both teams have awful offenses and I see this game being a low-scoring one from the first period. The Flames should limit the Kraken offense, which averages only 2.77 goals per game, with Kevin Bahl, Yan Kuznetsov, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone while limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Dustin Wolf to make plenty of big saves. The Kraken should eliminate a Flames offense that has scored only four goals in the last two games, with Adam Larsson, Jamie Oleksiak, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in all three zones while goaltender Joey Daccord blanks the shots on the net. The Under should cover in a low-scoring game with both defenses stepping up.

Take the Under on 6 goals.
