Flames vs Hockey Club Prediction
These teams have met twice so far and the Hockey Club won both duels: 5-1 and 5-3, respectively. The Flames are chasing the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference, while the Hockey Club seem to be out of the playoff race, but Calgary played last night at Colorado and had to go through both overtime and the shootout. I am not sure about the winner, so I am going with Over. Both H2Hs this season produced 6+ goals, and I think they will combine for at least six on Tuesday. Four of Utah’s last five home games provided 6+ goals. Back Over.
