MatchupInputs

First-listed goalies on ESPN: Sergei Bobrovsky for the Maple Leafs and Devin Cooley for the Flames. That listing is not a confirmation.

BooksSportsbook check

DraftKings had TOR -155 with the total at 6.5. Strip the vig and that's 41.7% for the Flames.

The model sits 2.4 points above the no-vig book number on the Flames.

AvailabilityInjuries and availability

For the Flames, ESPN had Jonathan Huberdeau (hip, injured reserve) and Mikael Backlund (upper body, day-to-day).

On the Maple Leafs side, ESPN listed Marshall Rifai (lower body, injured reserve) and Nick Blankenburg (upper body, injured reserve).

VerdictBottom line

Honest pass. The Flames were the better side on the model, but +1.1¢ at the ask is under the 3.0¢ bar. Below the bar, spread and noise eat most of the edge, so passing is the call.
