Flames vs. Blues Prediction

I was tempted to take the Flames here considering that the Flames were forced to start Dan Vladar in the first meeting when they were on a back-to-back and Vladar is clearly the backup in Calgary and it wouldn’t shock me at all to see Dustin Wolf start here. However, the Blues, as inconsistent as they might be, have owned this matchup with Calgary, winning each of the last five meetings between these two teams and nine of the last ten. I think the Blues continue their dominance over Calgary and net another win here so give me the St. Louis Blues on home ice at a reasonable price.
