October 21st, 2014 Tampa Bay Lightning @ Calgary Flames

Season Record:2-2 for +0.05 units.

Week Record:0-0

Let’s look at some betting trends to start us off. Tampa Bay is 2-4 SU in its last 6 games on the road. 7-3 SU in its last 10 games when playing Calgary and is 5-1 SU in its last 6 games when playing on the road against Calgary. One good trend in Calgary’s favor is that Calgary is 12-6 SU in its last 18 games at home.

Calgary has been quite impressive through their first seven games of the year. However, they have yet to win at home this season. Calgary has looked very upbeat this year and would love to look good in front of the home crowd tonight. Also, Karri Ramo, a 2004 draft choice of Tampa Bay, has also been strong with a 2-1-0 record, 2.30 GAA and .920 save percentage. Ramo is 1-1-0 with a 1.51 GAA and .951 save percentage in two games against his former team. You have to think Ramo, will bring his best game against his former team.

Tampa Bay on the other hand is coming into this game after losing last night to Edmonton. In my opinion the Lightning put to much energy into beating Vancouver at few nights ago and didnt save anything in the tank for Edmonton or Calgary. The follow players for them are out: Ryan Callahan, Victor Hedman, Radko Gudas, and Alex Killorn is doubtful.

The opening line was Tampa Bay 1.80 Calgary 2.05 with the Off-Shore betting market so far split 50/50. Current odds have Calgary 5dimes: 1.95, Pinnacle: 1.91, and SportsInteraction: 1.95. 50/50 split yet the lines have moved in favor of Calgary. I agree as I don’t believe Tampa Bay should of ever been favored in the first place. Best of luck!
