#18 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Calgary Flames (-130) over Ottawa Senators, Tuesday at 9 PM ET - The Senators are struggling overall and have struggled on the road this season. Ottawa enters this game having lost 10 of 13 games. They also have lost 11 of 15 games on the road this season. The Flames, on the other hand, have turned things around since goalie Jacob Markstrom came back. He was excellent in a recent road loss at Philadelphia and that tight loss was preceded by a stretch in which Calgary won 6 of 8 games. The Flames enter this game on a 3-1 run last 4 home games and they are certainly happy to be back home in Alberta after their road trip ended with a couple tight losses. This is the perfect spot for a Calgary bounce back against a team that is struggling and has proven to be road-adverse this season. The Flames have allowed just 2.4 goals per game in their last 10 games. The Senators have allowed 4.3 goals in the last 14 games! Also, Calgary is one of the top teams in the NHL for short-handed goals and their penalty kill is much stronger than that of the Santors. In fact, Ottawa is dead last on the penalty kill in the NHL this season. Special teams play and the home/road dichotomy plus the goalie and defensive edges all belong to the host in this one. Looks like a home blowout is on the way in this one! Home team's money line is our play here.
