Calgary is playing well. But I really like how the Oilers are playing, too. Edmonton has revenge for a 4-2 road loss suffered to the Flames on Nov. 17 and has defeated the Flames four straight times at home.

The Oilers have given up two goals or fewer in five of their last six games. Edmonton has won five of those games.

Edmonton also catches a break in that the Flames are going to be without their team captain and best defensive player, veteran Mark Giordano. He's sitting out the second of a two-game suspension.
