That seems surprising to me, based on where the two teams are in the standings. It is also possible I don't understand the ticket correctly, but if that's the case set me straight!

Everything you posted is correct.
Usually the away team will have longer odds. Even if they are higher in the standings. However if I remember correctly, Minnesota were only slight favourites in the overall market. They were 5/4 or 11/10 so would have returned £22.50 or £21. Which you may perceive as making them underdogs as well.
The market I chose was 60 minutes betting. So a tied game was one potential outcome. That pushes the odds against selecting a winner up.
The Flames were 8/5, which I thought was a good shout. Especially with BSD!
