Staff Prediction

Despite the Canadiens' desire to win at home, I see the Flames dominating this game on both ends of the ice after an overtime loss. With Nazem Kadri, Tyler Toffoli, and the rest of the forward unit controlling the puck in the offensive zone and creating open shots with great puck movement, the Flames, who average 3.04 goals per game, should constantly find the net. In addition to limiting a Canadiens offense that scores just 2.93 goals per game, the Flames need to create turnovers in the neutral zone and defensive zone alike by Nikita Zadorov, MacKenzie Weegar, and the rest of their defensive unit. In addition to winning the game, the Flames should cover the spread in a dominant win. Take the Flames -1.5 (+135)
