Calgary at Chicago

November 18, 2025
img8:30 PM Eastern

The Flames owned the Hawks, sweeping the season series 3-0 last year. Chicago got some payback, 4-0, when these teams met on Nov. 4, and now the Flames get their chance for revenge. Calgary will roll with Dustin Wolf between the pipes, and Wolf is not having the kind of start he'd hoped for after finishing second in Calder voting last year. Wolf is 5-10-2 with a 3.01 goals-against average with an .896 save percentage, but he's 3-2-1 in his past six with a .925 GAA. The Hawks are 4-0-1 in their past five, with Spencer Knight in net for three of the wins. They'll give Arvid Soderblom his turn tonight, and the fourth-year Swede is 1-2 against the West, posting a 2.74 GAA and .887 SVP. He has a career 3.50 GAA and can expect a heavy onslaught from this disgruntled Flames group, who have fired an average of 35 shots on goal in their past five outings. Five of the past six meetings at Chicago have gone OVER, and the Blackhawks have scored 20 goals in five games, getting contributions from some of their younger players. Calgary is 22-9 as a favorite the past two seasons, and I'm looking for them to come out on top of what could be some madness on Madison tonight. Take the Flames to win, and bet this game OVER.
