The set-up: The Predators have played five straight at home and they come in having won four in a row. With a game tomorrow night in Edmonton, I absolutely feel that this sets up as a letdown spot for the Predators. The Flames on the other hand come in hot, as they've won four of their last five, including a convincing 5-2 win at home over high-powered Boston last time out. And with a tough two-game Eastern Swing in the Big Apple and against the Habs starting on Saturday, there's no doubt this is an important game for the home side.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but Calgary is 7-2 in its last nine home games when the line in the game is set between -135 and +135. Nashville stumbles and the Flames hot run at home continues. Play on Calgary.
