If Pittsburgh had Super Bowl odds, the defending champions would be in trouble right now as they’ve dropped seven of their last 10, and they’ll face a Calgary team eager to awake from their own slumber.

Penguins vs Flames betting – Wednesday, January 13, 9:30 PM ET

The Penguins have just been inconsistent. When they get goal scoring, their goaltending lets them down, and when their goalies play well, they can’t find the net. They’ve won just one of their last six away from home, and that one win came over the lowly Toronto Maple Leafs. If it wasn’t for Sidney Crosby, who is third in the NHL in points and tied for first in goals, the Penguins would be out of the playoff picture.

The Flames have dropped three of their last four, and three straight games have been decided by a goal, which has resulted in two losses. Jerome Iginla has just one assist in his last five games, but Miikka Kiprusoff has been playing well behind the Flames, who need to score more.

The Flames should be the favorites at home, and this is the Penguins’ first time in Calgary since late 2007. Given the Penguins’ struggles on the road, it’s tough to place a wager on them, and the Flames have outshot their opponents 86-42 in their last two games.
