Detroit Red Wings favored in pre-Thanksgiving matchup vs. Flames
Will the Detroit Red Wings be able to extinguish the Calgary Flames? Right now, they're favored to come out on top with a valuable win, which would give them two straight.
Following their exciting come-from-behind victory over the New York Islanders on Monday, the Detroit Red Wings are back in front of the home fans for another critical matchup.
For the first time since October of last season, the Calgary Flames make an appearance in Detroit (7:30 PM, FanDuel Sports Detroit, 97.1 The Ticket).
For those with a vested interest in seeing the Red Wings emerge with two points from the game, Mac Douglass from Dimers has good news for you.
Our team has simulated the outcome of Wednesday's Calgary-Detroit game 10,000 times.
"With the latest updates and numerous other variables, we estimate the Red Wings' chance of winning at 51%, with the Flames at 49%.
Alex DeBrincat scored his first hat trick with the Red Wings the last time the Flames were in town:
At the time, it gave him the lead in the NHL in goals scored (8), a streak he knew wasn't going to last the entire season.
Right now, everything is going into the net, but that's not going to last forever.
I'm playing with Dylan [Larkin] and [Lucas Raymond], who are obviously great players, and we're playing great in our d-zone, which leads to odd-man rushes. Red Wings fans are hoping that they'll be giving thanks by the end of tonight's game for another valuable two points in the standings, which would bring them to within one point of the division foes, the Buffalo Sabres and Boston Bruins, in the Atlantic.
