New York Rangers vs Calgary Flames Prediction

The New York Rangers are the better team playing the better hockey, and they have seven road wins already, so this line makes sense. However, the Flames are coming off a couple of nice wins, and they’re 7-3-0 on their home ice. The Flames continue to not get much love from oddsmakers, and here they are cashing tickets and looking like a team that’s far and away better than expected. The Flames are worth a look in these soft underdog spots as long as they continue to play decent hockey. Give me the home dog.
