Calgary closes a rough road trip Thursday night in Chicago, and the angle for bettors is pretty simple: can the Flames bring a full 60 after fading late in multiple spots, or do the Blackhawks’ top-end skill tilt another one at home?

Edmonton has been better at Rogers Place than on the road, and the market is pricing this like a typical Oilers home spot: Edmonton favored, Islanders getting the plus price, total sitting
