*8* SURE SHOT on Calgary Flames.

The Nashville Predators needed overtime in a 2-1 win at Vancouver last night, and they might not have much left in the tank tonight in Calgary. This is the final game of a four game road trip, playing on back-to-back nights. My money is on the Flames at home.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - The Flames have won four straight against Nashville, and four of their last five at home versus the Preds.

2. Home Cookin' - The Flames are 13-4 in their last 17 home games. Starting goaltender Karri Ramo is 10-6 with a 2.57 GAA at the Saddledome this season.

3. X-Factor - Karri Ramo stopped 21-of-22 shots in a 2-1 win at Nashville in his only previous start versus Nashville this season.

Selection: This is a play on the Calgary Flames (8*)
