They have lost 2 of their last 3 games and are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game.

The Flames are coming into this game playing very well recently as they won their last game 9-1 but they are playing this game on a back-to-back and they have had a very weak stretch of schedule recently, playing a lot of bad teams like the Sharks, the Coyotes, and the Kraken. They have won 6 of their last 7 games but the only quality team that they played in that span was the Golden Knights and they lost 6-1 to them at home. They are going up against a Predators team that has not been playing great but they will be at home here and they will not be on a back-to-back like the Flames. The Predators also got embarrassed at home in their last game losing 8-3 to the Blues and they are going to be hungry to bounce back after that awful performance. This is a good spot for them to bounce back in here. The best bet in this game is on the Predators to win.

"It's really difficult to make the playoffs. Only half the teams in the league do it. We made the playoffs with two weeks left in the season." - Darryl Sutter after his team’s win against the Coyotes on Saturday night.

 

 

“There (weren’t) any soft goals. It was a 2-on-1, breakaway, 2-on-1. It was all clear-cut chances. We just left them out to dry. There was nothing they could have done. It’s on us. We got embarrassed in the second period and we gave up way too much.” - John Hynes on his team’s loss against the Blues on Sunday night.
