Calgary Flames vs Colorado Avalanche Prediction

The Flames are playing some of their best hockey of the season over these last two weeks. Too little, too late but still. The Avs are winning games but it also feels like a team that’s tired of the regular season and waiting for the playoffs. There’s been some weird loss over the last few weeks. Still, the Flames don’t have anything to play for and this run likely comes to an end. The Flames have been awful on the road for much of the season and Ball Arena isn’t a spot where you turn things around. Give me the Avs and I’ll lay the PL to shave down the juice.
