The set-up: Calgary's won seven of its last eight and I think it'll carry that momentum over here against a potentially dangerous Carolina team. The Hurricanes broke a slide with a very satisfying 7-4 win in Edmonton on Sunday and I believe they'll stumble in the second game of the Alberta stop-over. Despite their recent victory the Hurricanes still come in averaging 2.8 goals, while allowing 3.00. The Flames beat Edmonton 5-2 in their latest action and they currently have the second best record in the NHL. Overall Calgary averages 3.7 GPG, while allowing 2.8.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but the Flames are 7-1 in their last eight vs. teams with losing records and 5-1 in their last six at home, while Carolina is just 17-38 in its last 55 vs. teams with winning records and only 14-38 in its last 52 road games vs. a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. No upsets here, lay it.
