Boston Bruins vs Calgary Flames Prediction
The Calgary Flames have been getting beat up defensively over their last few games and cant be trusted on the road while that continues. The Boston Bruins have played their best hockey at home, and it’s only a matter of time before the offense starts to break out of this slump. While the road team has had success in past meetings between the Flames and Bruins, I have to lean toward Boston at home. The Flames aren’t playing well enough to give a look in this spot.
