Colorado Avalanche vs. Calgary Flames Prediction
I’m on the Avalanche here. It’s an interesting spot considering the Flames are playing for draft positioning and the Avalanche have the playoffs to focus on, but I just think that the Avalanche are that much better that their lower lines and backups should be able to get the job done against a hapless Flames team. Give me Colorado here.
