Predictions

Mark: Calgary Flames 1 – Pittsburgh Penguins 2

I’m still not fully on board that the ship has been righted and Pittsburgh, despite losing 4 out of their last 5 aren’t giving up a ton of goals. Calgary isn’t shooting a ton or scoring a ton. Philadelphia was a nice reprieve, but it’s back to normal.

Michael: Calgary Flames 3 – Pittsburgh Penguins 1

The Flames have gone 3-0-1 in their last four visits to Pittsburgh after not winning there for nearly 11 years. I think that trend continues with Sidney Crosby being out of the lineup tonight. I think the Flames finally score first tonight and start to turn the ship around.

Renu: Calgary Flames 1 – Pittsburgh Penguins 0 (OT)

A Monday snoozer. I expect Rittich to stand on his head again and for the Flames to secure the 2 points. I don’t even care who scores the game winner. I didn’t even know Sid was out of the lineup for the Pens! Thanks Michael!
