Winnipeg at Calgary

The Winnipeg Jets and the Calgary Flames have both opened the season looking like playoff teams. They are separated by a single point in the standings and these close-by Canadian rivals will likely bring a bit extra tonight, and that usually means a hard, close-checking game. Both these of these teams come in very healthy so each will have a full arsenal available. The Flames have been 7-3 over their last 10 contests and the reason has been the commitment on the back side of the ice. Calgary has limited 9-of-10 opponents to three or fewer goals, allowing an average of just 1.8 goals per game by those nine opponents. Winnipeg has played similar hockey as the Jets have held seven of their last eight opponents to three or fewer scores. Calgary has done a great job of protecting home ice at 4-1 in their last five, and will the difference maker here. Take Calgary and the UNDER.
