Pick

Ottawa comes into this matchup really struggling over the last two weeks, but they will catch Calgary on the second game of a back to back here. The Flames played against Toronto last night, in a game that went to a shootout. Calgary has had an up and down season, but they are only 2-4-2 on the road this year. I think the Senators having the rest advantage is going to be huge, especially with the Flames going into overtime last night. Take Ottawa in this matchup.
