Mal Van Valkenburg, Review-Journal, 60-49-3 (overall record)
Today’s best bet: CALGARY FLAMES (+115) over St. Louis Blues
The St. Louis Blues are the better team, but on the road, they are 12-18 and are 3-2 in their last five games. Calgary has an overall losing record, but is 16-13 at home. The last time they played in Calgary, the Flames won 3-1 on Oct. 28. Getting plus money and at home is an attractive combination. Home dogs are my two favorite words.
