Calgary have had a decent start to their season but have lost their form after that and are 8-9 in 17 games of the season. They are in fifth place in the Western Conference Pacific Division with 18 points but need to be more consistent if they want to cover the gap to qualify for the playoffs.

Flames vs Flyers Key Stats
Calgary has done decent and has managed to score three goals per game on average this season. The offense has not lived up to expectations and most of the contributions came from Elias Lindholm. The rest of the team has failed to ignite the spirit and changes are needed going forward if they want to score more and win games.
The defense has been all over the place and is one of the reasons for their poor run in the second half. They have conceded a goal per 8.2 shots faced, with the goaltenders having a combined save percentage below 0.900. They have to strengthen their defense if they want to get better in the league.
Philadelphia's poor results can be attributed to their poor offense, which has scored only 48 goals in 18 games this season. Only Travis Konecny and Kevin Hayes have had goal involvement per game this season but have lacked enough support from the other players, which is why they have failed to make it count.
The defense will need to improve going forward this season to support the goaltenders, who have done well with a save percentage of 0.915 and have made over 550 saves in 18 games.
Flames vs Flyers Betting Prediction
Calgary are 9-1 in their last 10 Monday games and are 25-9 in their last 34 against a team with a losing record. They have been inconsistent with their defense and have conceded over 12 goals in their last 3 games, which should concern them coming into the game.
Philadelphia can take inspiration from the fact that the home team have won nine times in the last 13 meetings whenever the two teams have played. Their scoring has been decent and they can fancy their chances to make their opportunities count by scoring more in this game.They have a good chance to cover the spread in this game.
Prediction: Take Philadelphia, +1.5(-145)
