TV: SN1 - Radio: Sportsnet 960
Odds: Calgary (-114) Nashville (-106) O/U: 6.5
Calgary will play the second to last game of their marathon homestand tonight against the Nashville Predators. Darryl Sutter’s new look lines are going to have be a whole lot better than they were against the Seattle Kraken if the Flames are going to get back in the win column tonight.
The Flames were a turnover machine on Tuesday, leading to multiple odd man rushes and goals that simply never would have happened if Calgary just play smart, sound hockey in the first place. Both Nazem Kadri and Rasmus Andersson each had costly turnovers that led to Kraken goals, making Dan Vladar’s night much worse than it really needed to be.
As for Nashville, this season hasn’t started out the way they imagined. The sit in 7th place in the Central Division and a lot of their problems come around the crease. They’ve scored the 4th fewest goals in the NHL and they’ve given up the 10th most. A -9 goal differential this early in the season is not a good thing and they are struggling on the road. Nashville is 1-3 so far and have been outscored 19-11 away from their home rink.
Puck drop is at 7 PM MT from the Scotiabank Saddledome tonight.
