#36 ASA PLAY ON 7* Calgary Flames -175 on the Money Line over Pittsburgh Penguins, Tuesday at 9:05 PM ET - We actually were first considering a top play on this one. It would have been our first one of the season but that was when the line was in the -140 range. It has since jumped up to the -175 range and of course there is no way we could risk a top play rating in this price range but we still think very strongly of this play and will not pass up on this. Calgary has been very strong and Penguins are in the 2nd game of a back to back and their body language on the ice did not look good when they blew their game at Edmonton last night. Penguins actually had a 2-goal lead early on in the 2nd period but then got dominated the rest of the way as the Flames outscored them 5-0 from that point on! Now, in this B2B spot, the Penguins likely will turn to Casey DeSmith in goal since Tristan Jarry started last night. DeSmith has not played much and will be rusty and Calgary is rested and at home and this is a very light part of the schedule for the Flames. Yes they have the Oilers on deck, a rival, but that game is days away and they had multiple days of rest heading into this game as well. In other words, ideal set-up for Calgary and tough set-up for Pittsburgh. Lay it! We think we’re getting some nice value getting this strong home team at -175 in this one with the Flames as it is the perfect set-up for a home win as Penguins struggle in this back to back spot.
