Flames vs Predators Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup struggling right now, but Calgary has been pretty bad all season. The Flames are 1-5-1 on the road this year, while the Predators are 3-3-1 at home. Nashville has scored two goals or fewer in four of their last five games, but they will face a Calgary defense that has allowed at least four goals in three of their last four. I really don’t like taking either team here, but I will side with Nashville at home, as we continue to fade Calgary.
