St. Louis Blues vs Calgary Flames Prediction

The St. Louis Blues have played the best hockey of their season over the last week, and they’ve won 7 of the last 8 games against the Flames so it’s worth taking a look at the road dog. However, the Calgary Flames have still been the more trustworthy team overall, and they’re at home where they’re 10-3-0 on the season. The Flames haven’t lost a home game since November 3. I’d need more bang for my buck with the Blues to pull the trigger. Give me a cheap price and a team that doesn’t lose at home.
