Predictions

Mark: Calgary Flames 4 - Chicago Blackhawks 2

I like how the Flames are playing lately and are able to score early and often. Outside of LA this seems like a team that is starting to click and the secondary scoring has been huge. So I picked them to win, that means they’ll lose.

Maddie: Calgary Flames 3 - Chicago Blackhawks 1

Like Mark, I feel like I’ve been wrong so often recently because the Flames are chaos and there’s no predicting it. But, that said, I’m actually feeling pretty good about this one? Their offense is clicking recently, and I’ve really liked what I’ve seen there, and I think they can keep that rolling for at least one more game. Hopefully?

Flash: Calgary Flames 2 - Chicago Blackhawks 4

Robin Lehner is one of the top quality goaltenders in the NHL, and I just feel off about this game. Coming off a California road trip where we did well, I think we’ll be a bit complacent at home. I hope I’m wrong, but let’s see.
