This is a 10* on CALGARY

Monday’s 2-1 loss here in Ottawa should be considered unforgivable from the Flames’ perspective. The Senators were without their top three goaltenders, yet held Calgary to just one goal. Ottawa is by far the worst defensive side in the league as they’ve allowed 131 goals on the season, which is 20 more than the next worst team. Equally unforgivable as the loss Monday is the fact the Flames have now lost four of the six meetings with the Senators this season. For Ottawa, those four wins account for more than one-third of their total wins this season. It’s just not acceptable to have a losing head to head record against the team with the worst goal differential in the sport. But the silver lining from Monday is that the Flames did have 36 shots on goal plus 33 more that were either blocked or wide of the net. Given Ottawa’s dire goaltending situation at the moment, a second crack HAS to yield in more goal scoring for Calgary tonight. They’d scored 14 times in four games before getting held to just one goal in the last two. The Senators have just two win streaks all season, one was two games and the other three. It’s been nearly a month since they won back to back games as they’re 0-3 off a win since. An easy call on the Flames tonight. Play on CALGARY
