Calgary Flames History

The Calgary Flames are a franchise steeped in history, originally founded in 1972 as the Atlanta Flames before relocating to Calgary in 1980. The team quickly became a beloved part of the Calgary community, playing their games at the iconic Saddledome and developing fierce rivalries, particularly with the Edmonton Oilers in the Battle of Alberta. Their dedication to excellence earned them a passionate fan base and numerous playoff appearances.

One of the high points of the Flames’ history came in the 1988-89 season, when they captured their first and only Stanley Cup. That team, led by Hall of Famers Lanny McDonald and Al MacInnis, combined elite talent with gritty determination to dominate the NHL. Their victory remains a source of pride for Calgary fans and stands as a benchmark for future Flames teams.

Throughout the years, the Flames have experienced ups and downs, with a mix of rebuilding seasons and playoff runs. Most recently, the team has shown flashes of brilliance while striving for consistency in a competitive Pacific Division. With a strong mix of veteran leadership and young talent, the Flames continue to be a team to watch both on the ice and for sports bettors.

Calgary Flames Stats

As of the 2024-25 NHL season, the Calgary Flames are delivering a mixed performance. They rank middle of the pack in overall standings, with their defensive play shining as a strength but offensive consistency lagging. Their save percentage (SV%) sits at 0.914, above league average, thanks to strong goaltending performances. Offensively, the Flames are generating 32 shots per game but struggle to convert, with a shooting percentage (SH%) below 9%.

Key areas for improvement include power play efficiency, where their PP% is at 17.8%, ranking 24th in the league. However, they excel in penalty killing, boasting a PK% of 84.2%, which ranks them among the top 10 teams. These stats make them a team with solid defensive value but one bettors should approach cautiously on the moneyline unless favorable matchups arise.

Calgary Flames Roster for 2024-2025

The Flames roster for 2024-25 features a mix of seasoned veterans and rising stars. Jonathan Huberdeau continues to lead the offense with his elite playmaking skills, though he’s still seeking the consistency that made him a Hart Trophy contender in Florida. Nazem Kadri provides grit and secondary scoring but has faced criticism for a slower start this season.

In goal, Dustin Wolf is emerging as the future of the Flames, challenging veteran Dan Vladar for the starting spot. Wolf’s athleticism and composure have made him a standout. On the blue line, Rasmus Andersson anchors the defense, offering both offensive contributions and reliable play in his own zone. While the roster shows promise, more cohesion is needed for Calgary to contend at a higher level.

Calgary Flames Injury Report

The Flames have faced injuries to key players, including their top-six forwards, disrupting offensive chemistry. This has forced depth players to step into larger roles, impacting the team’s overall scoring output. Staying healthy will be critical for Calgary’s playoff push.

Calgary Flames Betting Outlook and Trends

To make more money betting on the Flames, it’s important to identify key trends for the team. This season, our handicappers are betting along a few key trends:

Low-Scoring Games

The Calgary Flames have shown a strong defensive structure this season, driven by reliable goaltending and a penalty kill that ranks among the league’s best. However, their offense has struggled to find consistency, with a below-league-average shooting percentage. This combination often results in low-scoring games, making the under an appealing play, especially when the total is set at 6.5 or higher.

Bettors should look for matchups against other defensively inclined teams or squads with top-tier goalies, as these are likely to produce tight, low-scoring contests. Additionally, when Dustin Wolf is starting, his ability to shut down high-scoring offenses further supports betting the under.

First-Period Moneylines

The Flames have been known for coming out strong in the first period, frequently outshooting opponents and generating quality scoring chances early in games. This trend makes Calgary a strong pick for first-period moneyline bets, especially in home games where the energy from the Saddledome crowd gives them an edge.

Look for games against teams that struggle with slow starts or have weaker goaltending depth. Bettors should also monitor the Flames’ performance after losses, as the team often responds with an aggressive start in the following game, increasing the likelihood of a profitable first-period bet.

Goaltending Props

With Dustin Wolf stepping into a prominent role, his high save percentage and ability to handle heavy shot volumes make him an excellent candidate for goaltender save props. Against teams that generate a lot of shots but struggle with finishing, like the Seattle Kraken or Los Angeles Kings, Wolf’s save total can easily exceed sportsbooks’ projections.

Bettors should also consider matchups against high-octane offenses like the Edmonton Oilers or Colorado Avalanche. While the Flames may concede goals in these games, Wolf’s workload will often lead to save totals that surpass the line, providing value even in losses.

Penalty Kill Props

The Flames’ penalty kill is a cornerstone of their defensive success, ranking in the top 10 league-wide. Against teams that heavily rely on power-play scoring, Calgary’s elite PK unit can suppress goals, making props related to “No Power Play Goals Allowed” or under totals for opposing team power-play goals a smart play.

This trend becomes especially valuable against teams with middle-of-the-road power plays, as sportsbooks may overvalue the opponent’s chances of scoring. Keep an eye on divisional matchups like those against the Vancouver Canucks or Anaheim Ducks, where the Flames’ defensive prowess often frustrates opponents’ special teams.

Betting Trends from Last Season

Last season, our handicappers used the following trends to make money betting on the Calgary Flames:

Home-Ice Advantage: Calgary excelled at home, covering the spread in 60% of games played at the Saddledome. Bettors consistently found value backing the Flames in Calgary.
Player Props for Nazem Kadri: Kadri was a strong performer in shots on goal props, often hitting overs set at 2.5 or 3.
Unders in Division Matchups: Flames games against Pacific Division rivals were often low-scoring affairs, making the under a profitable play.

Key Players for Betting on the Calgary Flames

In addition to first-period wagers and unders on totals, player props on Flames stars can be quite profitable this season. Here’s a look at the players we’re watching.

Dustin Wolf
Dan Vladar
Nazem Kadri
Jonathan Huberdeau
Rasmus Andersson

Dustin Wolf

The young goaltender Dustin Wolf has quickly become a key player for the Flames, showcasing exceptional agility and calmness under pressure. His ability to make high-danger saves against skilled opponents has bolstered Calgary’s defensive consistency. Bettors should focus on save total props, especially against teams with high shot volumes, as Wolf has proven capable of handling 30+ shots in a game.

Additionally, his strong performances in low-scoring contests make the Flames a valuable pick for the under when he starts. As he gains more NHL experience, Wolf could become one of the league’s most reliable goalies for betting opportunities.

Dan Vladar

Dan Vladar provides a solid backup option for the Flames and is a key factor in maintaining the team’s goaltending depth. While not as consistent as Wolf, Vladar’s performances can surprise in certain matchups, particularly against mid-tier opponents. Bettors may find value when the Flames are underdogs with Vladar in net, as he’s capable of stealing games with his size and athleticism.

His stats tend to fluctuate depending on the defense in front of him, so bettors should monitor the team’s injury report before placing wagers. Vladar is also worth considering for alternative markets, such as goalie win props, when Calgary is playing at home.

Nazem Kadri

Nazem Kadri is the heartbeat of Calgary’s forward corps, bringing a mix of skill, physicality, and leadership to the lineup. Known for his clutch performances, Kadri is a strong candidate for player props, especially in high-stakes games.

Bettors should consider over bets on his shots on goal, as he consistently generates scoring chances, even in games where he doesn’t find the back of the net. Kadri’s gritty style also makes him an intriguing option for penalty minute props, particularly in rivalry games like the Battle of Alberta. If he finds a scoring groove, expect Kadri’s goal and assist props to provide strong value.

Jonathan Huberdeau

Jonathan Huberdeau is Calgary’s most skilled playmaker, with elite vision and creativity that make him a threat in the offensive zone. While his production dipped in his first season with the Flames, Huberdeau remains a valuable pick for assist props, especially against weaker defensive teams.

He thrives in games where the Flames control possession, creating opportunities for his linemates to capitalize. Bettors should watch for matchups against teams with poor puck management, as Huberdeau is adept at exploiting turnovers to create scoring chances. Additionally, his role on Calgary’s power play makes him a strong pick for points props in games projected to have high totals.

Rasmus Andersson

Rasmus Andersson is a versatile defenseman who excels in both ends of the ice, making him a reliable choice for several betting markets. Offensively, he contributes to Calgary’s attack with frequent shots from the point and is a great pick for shots on goal props, often set at a manageable 1.5 or 2.0.

Defensively, Andersson’s shot-blocking ability adds value for multi-category props, as he’s often tasked with shutting down opponents’ top lines. His role on the power play also gives him a chance to rack up points in high-scoring games, making him a sleeper pick for anytime goal scorer props when Calgary faces weaker penalty kills. His consistency makes him a go-to option for bettors seeking reliable prop bets.

Calgary Flames Summary

The Calgary Flames provide a compelling case for NHL bettors. From their stellar penalty kill to rising stars like Dustin Wolf, the Flames have unique strengths to exploit in betting markets. While offensive inconsistency remains a challenge, savvy bettors can focus on trends like unders and goalie props for reliable profits.
