Flames vs. Hurricanes Prediction

I’m on Carolina here. The Flames are starting to stumble a little bit here and there and while the Carolina Hurricanes have been far from perfect and are on a back-to-back, they’re still a solid team in this matchup and I think they have the better goaltending by a fair margin with Frederik Andersen returning from injury. I think Calgary’s in trouble here. Give me Carolina -1.5.
