Flames head south to take on Avalanche
If familiarity breeds contempt, there should be animosity aplenty when the Flames visits division rival Colorado at Pepsi Center Monday.
Colorado brings a 1-1-0 overall mark (0-1-0 in the division) into this game against a Calgary team carrying a 1-2-0 record.
In a game that potentially could see plenty of scoring, the total opened high, at 6.5. The line opened at 140 in favor of the Avalanche.
Calgary's blueline was shredded for 6 goals last game by the Red Wings' attack and they need a superior effort from the rearguards and keeper Monday or the opening total of 6.5 could be eclipsed quickly.
Meanwhile, at American Airlines Center, the underdog Avalanche were winning against the Stars 3-2. The game was an under play.
Some trends to consider:
Calgary is 1-4-0 SU in their last 5 games after scoring 3 to 4 goals
Calgary is 7-15-0 OU in their last 22 games against the Colorado
Calgary is 4-2-0 OU in their last 6 games
Calgary is 5-2-0 OU in their last 7 away
Colorado is 5-1-0 SU in their last 6 games after scoring 3 to 4 goals
Colorado is 4-1-0 OU in their last 5 games at home against Calgary
Colorado is 7-15-0 OU in their last 22 games against the Calgary
Colorado is 2-5-1 OU in their last 8 at home
Next up:
Calgary home to Dallas, Thursday, October 13
Colorado home to Nashville, Wednesday, October 12
