Flames vs Wild same-game parlay
Matt Coronato is playing well lately, tallying Over 1.5 SOG in two of his previous three appearances. In Sunday’s loss to the Ducks, Coronato had a goal, an assist, and four shots on goal.
Overall, Coronato is averaging 2.33 SOG, and he’s put six pucks on net across two matchups with Minnesota this season.
The Jonathan Huberdeau-Matthew Tkachuk trade will always be looked at as a failure for Calgary because of Huberdeau’s lack of consistency, but he can still produce at times. He scored in the Flames’ last game, and Huberdeau has nine goals overall.
While that’s not a ton by any means, Huberdeau has already scored against the Wild this season.
