Kraken vs Flames prediction

Kraken vs Flames best bet: Rasmus Andersson Over 2.5 shots on goal (+110)

Rasmus Andersson may find himself in non-stop trade rumors, but he’s still a key piece for the Calgary Flames. The Swede has scored seven goals and tallied 15 assists this season while averaging 2.55 shots per game. 

The 29-year-old has cashed the Over in shots on target in six consecutive contests, finishing with at least four shots in each. While Andersson doesn’t have a lot of points to show for during that span, the opportunities have definitely been there. 

Andersson has also been even more dangerous in front of the goal at home, averaging 2.92 shots per game. He’ll cash the Over once again tonight in Calgary.
