Nashville Predators vs Calgary Flames Prediction
The Nashville Predators are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, but I’m not laying juice with a team that hasn’t won a game since November 23. The Predators haven’t scored more than 2 goals in 7 straight games. The Flames have issues of their own, but they’ve also won 3 of the last 4 games against the Predators, which includes a 2-0 win a couple of weeks ago. I’ll take a shot with the Flames and the plus money, but it’s a fade of the Predators more than anything.
