The Flames need to win to keep their playoff hopes alive. I expect a big effort here tonight.


Calgary has a mark of 22-26 against the spread, and has been slightly down on the moneyline for the season despite recent wins over Montreal and the Toronto Maple Leafs at plus odds.

The Flames have struggled to generate offense this season despite outshooting their opponents with an average of 2.59 goals and 29.2 shots per game while converting on 20% of their power plays. Calgary's defense is mid-pack, with opponents putting up 2.82 goals and 28 shots per game, and the Flames have killed 80.41% of penalties.

Lindholm is atop the Calgary leaderboard with 41 points and a +8, while Gaudreau has a team-high 17 goals. Lets take the dog here with Calgary.
