Boston Bruins vs. Calgary Flames Prediction
I’m on Calgary in this one. I just can’t get behind the Bruins in their current form, as Boston’s in a tailspin and are also on the road where they have been less effective for much of the season. Calgary’s been playing some of their best hockey of the year to this point over the last month, and the Flames despite their earlier faults this season, have still been at their best at home this season. Give me Calgary here.
