T.M. Selection: Calgary Flames

I like the Calgary Flames to win this game against the Washington Capitals on Friday. People had really high hopes for the Flames coming into this season. Although they lost Tkachuk, they brought in some very talented players to replace him. They haven't been perfect by any means, but they are slowly building a better record. They are now 4-1-1 in their last six games and Markstrom is heating up between the posts. Washington, on the other hand, comes into this game off an exciting OT win against the Flyers last time out. Prior to that, they had lost four straight and haven't looked that great. Even on the road, I expect the Flames to pick up their 10th win of the year in a big game before they play the Hurricanes tomorrow.

T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Flames

Line: -120

Line Parameter: play until -142
