The set-up: Calgary enters off a 3-1 road win in Long Island just last night and I think the red hot visitors will keep the momentum rolling in the second game of the back to back. New Jersey comes in off a tough 2-1 home win over Montreal, but everything points to a return to mediocrity for the home side in my opinion. The Flames are sizzling with six straight wins. Calgary has given up just seven goals during its five game win skein. David Rittich gets the nod in the net for the visitors and he's 12-6 with a 2.09 GAA on the road. The Devils earned a win last time out, but they're still going be sitting out of the playoffs this year. New Jersey may have won four of its last six, but note that goaltender Corey Schneider is still just 4-10 with a 3.26 GAA on the year.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but Calgary is 7-1 in its last eight vs. the Metropolitan and 25-9 in its last 34 as the favorite, while New Jersey is just 8-20 in its last 28 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Look for Rittich to be the difference maker again here. Lay the price.
