Red Wings vs. Flames prediction, odds and best bet for Oct. 24, 2026

The Detroit Red Wings are favored to beat the Calgary Flames on Saturday, according to Dimers' NHL pregame model.

Our Red Wings vs. Flames prediction gives Detroit a 55.1% chance of winning at Scotiabank Saddledome, but the latest odds suggest value in betting on the Flames to cover the +1.5 puck line.

Red Wings vs. Flames: Key predictions

• Red Wings win probability: 55.1%
• Flames win probability: 44.9%
• Flames +1.5 puck line: 67.2% cover probability
• Over 5.5 goals: 54.0% probability

Dimers' NHL pregame model estimates how many goals each team is likely to score, accounting for factors such as recent form, shooting and save percentages, home-ice advantage, and rest.

These projections power our NHL predictions, which show the probability of each team winning, covering the puck line, and the total goals going over or under the betting line.

Red Wings vs. Flames odds

Here are the best available odds across the moneyline, puck line, and total goals markets monitored by Dimers.

• Red Wings moneyline: 55¢ (Novig)
• Flames moneyline: +118 (BetRivers)
• Red Wings -1.5: +190 (DraftKings)
• Flames +1.5: 66¢ (Novig)
• Over 5.5 goals: 56¢ (Novig)
• Under 5.5 goals: 46¢ (Novig)

Odds are subject to change and may vary by location.

Best value bet: Flames +1.5 (66¢)

The Red Wings may be more likely to win, but Dimers' top value bet is the Flames to cover the +1.5 puck line at 66¢, available at Novig.

Those odds imply the Flames have a 66.0% chance of covering the spread, while our model puts that probability at 67.2%.

That's a 1.2% edge in the Flames' favor, the largest across the moneyline, puck line, and total goals markets based on Dimers' probabilities and the best available odds.
