The Calgary Flames come into this one looking to bounce back after a 4-2 beat down from Seattle in their last game! Nazem Kadri has been a savage and a extremely important part of this team this season, he leads the Flames in scoring with 54 points including 22 goals and a team-high 32 assists! I also really am starting to appreciate Blake Coleman also on this team, he has 47 points with 25 goals and 22 assists. Yegor Sharangovich is in his own category and think should be looking for a new team to call home soon. Jacob Markstrom has gone 21-16-2 with a 2.61 GAA and a .912 save percentage while Dan Vladar is 8-7-2 with a 3.21 GAA and an .890 save percentage this season. Dustin Wolf has also gone 1-3-1 with a 3.91 GAA and an .878 save percentage as well this season, this goaltending is not great and they been shaky at best this year! We love fading the Flames and as my man Bet on Bananas says “F**K THE FLAMES” but do they have a shot tonight?

💎 TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING ML -155 ( 1u )

This was a easy call for me! I know that this line looks pretty much like a trap but they have to show me!! I’m on the Lightning here. Calgary was on a nice run before their loss to the Kraken, but now I have a feeling the Flames start going down and show some serious regression moving forward. The Lightning have been disappointing and I think they have truly underperformed for a lot of the season, but they do play their best hockey at home and have had the upper hand on the Flames for some time now the home team’s also dominated this matchup, winning each of the last 7 meetings and I think Tampa Bay makes it 8 here. Give me Tampa Bay for a easy cash tonight!!
