Calgary Flames vs Boston Bruins prediction
The Calgary Flames are an inconsistent team that can’t be trusted, especially in spots like this on the road against good teams. The Boston Bruins are one of the best teams in the league, and you know what you’re going to get from them most nights, especially at home, where they’re 16-4-3 on the season. The Bruins have outscored the Flames 11-6 in the last 3 meetings. It’s hard to go anywhere else in this spot but siding with the Bruins and the PL for max betting value.
