Calgary Flames vs. Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction
I’m on the Lightning here. I just think that Calgary’s run is unsustainable and the Lightning have been rounding into the form we’re used to seeing out of this team with their form in the last couple of weeks. Tampa Bay is simply the better team by a mile here and at home is where we usually see the Bolts at their best. Give me Tampa Bay here.
