Calgary Flames vs. Vancouver Canucks Prediction – Wednesday, March 12, 2025

The Vancouver Canucks and Calgary Flames will battle for the fourth and final time this regular season when they meet on Wednesday, March 12 at 9:00 PM ET at Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta. The Flames are slight favorites to succeed with a moneyline at -120 at MyBookie.

Vancouver Canucks Betting Preview

The Canucks are fifth in the Pacific Division and have some decent momentum heading into this matchup. However, their defense has been of concern over their last handful of games.

Looking at their last five matchups, the Canucks have allowed four goals or more in three games. These, of course, have been losses since their offense cannot keep up with the demand to break even.

Vancouver is scoring 2.71 goals and firing off 25.5 shots per matchup. Defensively they are allowing opponents to reach 3.02 goals and 27.0 shots per game. This spread is not as appealing on the defensive end as the Flames.

The Canucks’ penalty kill percentage is at 82.3 and power play percentage is at 22.3, both of which are higher than what the Flames are getting each game. In total, the Canucks have scored 39 power play goals and have allowed 32.

Calgary Flames Betting Preview

The Flames are just a slight step ahead of the Canucks at fourth in the division. They have a great opportunity at home, but must stay consistent on the offensive end.

Their defense has looked solid in their last five games, allowing three goals in three different matchups. Two of those have resulted in losses, but they might be getting into a better groove offensively by the look of things.

Calgary is shooting 28.9 times a game and scoring 2.56 goals as a result. Their defense is allowing opposing teams to shoot 29.2 times a game and get 2.87 goals. This is not a favorable spread, but is slightly better than what the Canucks offer.

The Flames have produced a total of 651 penalty minutes, which is more than what the Flames have accumulated at 595. Their power play percentage is at 21.2 (38 goals scored, 47 allowed in power play opportunities) and they offer a penalty kill percentage at 74.9.
