Nashville Predators vs Calgary Flames Prediction
This line is a bit strange when you consider the Nashville Predators keep finding ways to lose and have scored 2 or fewer goals in 5 of their last 6 games. The Predators also played an overtime game last night and now have to travel. The Calgary Flames have the rest advantage and are at home, where they’ve seen 5 of their 8 wins come this season. I just don’t get how the Predators are favored on the road, given the struggles these last couple of weeks and the fact they played a long game last night. I’ll take the plus money with the Flames at home.
