It's usually a competitive contest when the Flames and Jets meet, so you can make a case for either side here. However, the Jets are playing the better hockey and have a decent edge on the offensive side. The Jets also beat the Flames this season already, coming back after giving up three goals in the first period. The Jets are just never out of a game with this offensive firepower. I'll back the home team.
