Betting Tip

The Calgary Flames find themselves facing elimination while the Edmonton Oilers are just one win away from their first Conference Finals since 2006. The Oilers almost squandered a three-goal lead in Game 4 but ultimately held on, giving them three straight victories in the series and a 3-1 lead. Connor McDavid continued his hot playoff run with two assists in the game and now has recorded at least two points in all but one game this postseason.

Goalie Jacob Markstrom’s struggles against Edmonton continued but the good news is he will be at home in this must-win situation on Thursday. His home record is 22-8-7 with a 2.17 GAA and if he can play anything close to that form then the Flames will easily claw their way back into the series. We saw how the Rangers turned things around against Pittsburgh in the first round and something similar can happen here, so the Flames will win tonight to stay alive in the series.
