Season Records and Recent Form
The Chicago Blackhawks (9-5-4) are coming into this game with some serious momentum. They recently edged out the Toronto Maple Leafs with a 3-2 victory on November 15. Led by the dynamic Connor Bedard, the Hawks are looking to solidify their playoff positioning early in the 2025-26 campaign.
On the other side, the Calgary Flames (5-12-3) are in a tough stretch. They dropped a heartbreaker to the Winnipeg Jets in a 4-3 shootout loss on November 15. With only five wins on the season, Calgary is desperate for two points to turn their ship around.

Betting Angles: My Take on the Odds
The betting odds provided are Line: Calgary -120 O/U: 5.5.
Looking at the numbers, I feel a significant discrepancy between the line and the actual performance of these two teams. The Blackhawks are rolling with a 9-5-4 record, an elite defense (2nd in Goals Against), and the most dominant young player in the game, Connor Bedard, who is tied for fourth in the entire NHL in points. The Flames, conversely, are 5-12-3, sitting near the bottom of the league. While the odds list Calgary as a slight favorite (Calgary -120), giving them the edge despite their performance and the Blackhawks’ home ice advantage feels like a classic case of the betting market overvaluing historical performance or expecting a massive road upset.
With the Over/Under set at 5.5, I lean heavily toward the Over. The Blackhawks’ offense is clicking, and Calgary’s recent games show they can generate high-danger scoring chances even if they struggle to win. Dustin Wolf is confirmed in net for the Flames and Arvid Soderblom is the expected starter for Chicago—both have decent, but not lockdown, numbers. I think the offense will break through on both sides, especially Chicago’s high-flying power play.
I’m taking the Blackhawks to win this one decisively on home ice.
My Score Prediction: Blackhawks 4 – Flames 2

Looking at the wider league, the NHL Point Leaders for the 2025-26 season are putting up insane numbers. Nathan MacKinnon (COL) sits at the top with 33 points, followed closely by Connor McDavid (EDM) with 30. Macklin Celebrini (SJS) and Connor Bedard are right in the mix, proving the next generation of superstars has fully arrived.
