Calgary Flames Betting Preview
The Calgary Flames are 25-19-7 this season after they lost to Detroit by a score of 3-1 in their last game. Calgary cut the deficit from 2-0 to 2-1 in the third period, but they allowed an empty net goal to seal the game.

Kraken vs Flames Prediction
Calgary comes into this matchup after losing three of their last four games, but they are on a back-to-back and will be on the road here. The Flames are 9-11-4 on the road this year, while the Kraken are 13-12-3 at home. Seattle has lost two of their last three games and they have allowed at least four goals in both of those losses. I don’t really love either team in this matchup, but Calgary has scored two goals or fewer in three of their last four games. Take the Kraken to get the win at home.
