Detroit Red Wings vs Calgary Flames Prediction
I’m leaning towards Detroit here. Calgary’s just a different team on the road, and not in a good way, and Detroit’s been playing their better hockey at home as of late. The Red Wings have also won 4 straight games with the Flames and I think Detroit adds to Calgary’s road woes here. Give me the Red Wings.
