Rogers' *10* WEST-CONF "TOW!" (+$20K NHL LIFETIME!)
(NHL) Chicago vs. Calgary,
Total: 5.50 | 112.00 Over
Result: Win
*10* TOTAL OF WEEK on UNDER Blackhawks/Flames.

The Calgary Flames are the worst team in the league regarding goals against, so one might think that we will be in for a high-scoring contest when they host the surging Chicago Blackhawks Friday night. I think differently though, and my money is on this game to go under the total.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. The Blackhawks Road Woes - Chicago is only 3-5-0 away from home this season, in large part because of a sputtering offense. It is scoring a respectable 3.09 goals per game home at United Center, but that number drops to 2.38 away from home.

2. Trends - Nine of the last 11 head-to-head meetings have stayed under the total and the under is 3-0-1 in the Flames last four overall.

3. X-Factor - The Flames have won three straight at home with just a total of five goals allowed.

Selection: This is a play on CHI@CGY to go UNDER the total (10*)
