ASA NHL play on UNDER 5.5 GOALS Minnesota Wild at Calgary Flames, 10pm ET
The Wild and Flames are set for a low-scoring battle tonight, and I’m all over the Under 5.5 goals. Goaltending: Filip Gustavsson (Wild): Rocking a 2.54 GAA and .915 save percentage, he’s been lights-out, with a .922 save percentage in his last ten starts. Gustavsson has allowed just one goal each in regulation in his last two starts.
Dustin Wolf (Flames): Boasting a 2.64 GAA and .910 save percentage with a 26-16-3 record on the season. In his last five starts he has 27 or more saves in four games with a .912 save percentage.
Minnesota allows 2.89 goals per game and ranks high in 5-on-5 expected goals against. Both rank in the bottom half of the league in penalty play percentage.
Calgary’s given up three or less goals in regulation in their last seven games and ranks fourth in expected goals against recently. They control possession, limiting high-danger chances.
Both teams struggle offensively—Minnesota’s scored two goals or less in six of their last nine, and Calgary’s managed 2.5 goals in their last eight games. With these goalies and tight defenses, expect a 2-1 or 3-2 game. Grab the Under 5.5!
