This is a 10* WESTERN CONFERENCE NON-DIVISIONAL GOY on the Flames.

I've been picking and choosing my spots in the NHL of late, and here's just another really great "spot" bet.

When considering the overwhelming situational factors working in favor of the home side here, I view this to be the very definition of "great line value."

We'll employ the KISS method for this one (Keep It Simple Stupid.)

Nashville is 12-20. It just broke a three-game slide with a 3-0 win at Vancouver just last night. With two nights off after this before finishing its five-game trip at Winnipeg, I believe the second game of the back-to-back scenario sets up as classic letdown/look-ahead (trap game) for the visitors.

Calgary is 18-13, but it's been trading wins/losses over its last three games. Off the 5-3 loss here to Utah, I believe this pattern continues this evening, and before the start of their next road trip.

Calgary beat Nashville 4-3 on the road back in December and I believe it'll find a way to come out on top as well in this favorable spot.

The play is on the FLAMES.

Good luck, NP
