Calgary Flames vs Ottawa Senators Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Ottawa Senators
Both the Senators and the Flames suffered losses on Tuesday. The nature of those defeats perfectly highlights where the teams stand at the moment.
Ottawa are coming off a 5-4 overtime loss to the Edmonton Oilers, in a game they should’ve closed out earlier. They held a 4-2 lead entering the third period and were still up 4-3 with less than two minutes remaining, only to allow Edmonton to come back.
Despite the setback, the Senators have been in solid form overall, winning six of their last 10 outings (W6, L2, OT2).

Meanwhile, the Flames are coming off a devastating 6-1 defeat to the red-hot Dallas Stars, who have won 10 in a row. Calgary looked completely overmatched in that clash, which extended their losing skid to three games.
During that span, they’ve scored just three goals and conceded 11. Furthermore, the Flames have won only three of their last 10 encounters (W3, L5, OT2).
The Senators are simply better equipped to deliver a bounce-back performance compared to Calgary. The Flames have looked overmatched on both ends of the ice, and Ottawa should take advantage of that to cruise to a much-needed win.
Calgary Flames vs Ottawa Senators Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Tim Stützle over 0.5 assists
One of the most consistent players for the Senators throughout the season, Stützle hasn’t missed a beat since returning from the Winter Olympics, where he represented Germany.
Stützle has yet to score a goal since returning, but he’s provided four helpers in three outings. Look for him to remain a steady playmaking threat against a Calgary defence that ranks 13th in goals allowed per game (2.97).
Calgary Flames vs Ottawa Senators Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Over 5.5 goals + Drake Batherson over 0.5 goals + Tim Stützle over 2.5 shots
The Senators have been an above-average offensive side all season long, ranking 11th in goals scored per game (3.30). Seven of their last nine outings have seen at least five goals, so there’s good value in the over 5.5 line, especially when factoring in the Flames’ recent defensive struggles.
We’re pairing that outcome with two Ottawa players making an offensive impact. Drake Batherson is a strong candidate to find the back of the net.

Ranking second on the team in goals (23), assists (30), and points (53), he’s recorded four goals over his last two appearances, scoring twice against both Toronto and Edmonton.
We’re also riding another prop bet on Stützle. While he’s mustered three shots in three encounters since returning from the Olympics, he could be in line for a better outing against a struggling Calgary defence. Stützle is averaging 2.4 shots per game over his last 10 appearances.
Calgary Flames vs Ottawa Senators Team News
Calgary Flames Team News
The Flames will be without Jake Bean (undisclosed), Samuel Honzek (upper body), and Jonathan Huberdeau (hip). Bean is nearing a return and should be back on the ice in the near future.
Honzek is set to miss the rest of the season and would only return if the Flames make the playoffs, but that scenario looks increasingly unlikely. Huberdeau is out for the rest of the season, as are two elite college prospects in the Calgary organisation: Henry Mews (knee) and Cullen Potter (upper body).
Ottawa Senators Team News
The Senators will have to wait to determine whether Nikolas Matinpalo will be available for this contest. The defenceman is out due to an undisclosed injury and has missed nine games in a row, so his chances of returning on Thursday are slim.
One player who won’t be available is winger David Perron. The 37-year-old veteran underwent surgery in January and is not expected to be re-assessed until mid-March. It wouldn’t be surprising if he still needs several weeks before being cleared.
