Predictions
Mark: Calgary Flames 4 - Vancouver Canucks 2
Mikael Backlund is back so I am fully confident in the Flames tonight. It's as simple as that.
Renu: Calgary Flames 3 - Vancouver Canucks 0
The team owes Markstrom another shutout against his old team. Markstrom last shutout the Canucks on Jan.16th. Giordano is due for a goal - got him in my $10 parlay.
Michael: Calgary Flames 7 - Vancouver Canucks 2
I don’t know, I’m feeling a blowout tonight. The Flames have looked way better on home ice this year, especially against Vancouver and it just feels like they’re due for a big offensive game with Backlund back.
Gordie: Calgary Flames 5- Vancouver Canucks 2
Really disappointed to see Mackey come out of the lineup, Simon back on the top line, and breaking up the Lucic-Dube-Bennett line (whom I will never ever ever use that horrible “Bubble boys”) name. Still, the Flames have been playing poorly and it’s hard to imagine them starting a third straight game with no sign of life.
