I’ve been burned by the Kraken a few times, but I’m on the Calgary bandwagon at the moment, and had great success. The Flames are the hottest team in the NHL at the moment, scoring at a 5+ pace over their last 8 games, and winning by multiple goals 8 of 10 times. In addition to a powerful and balanced attack, they also have the best defense in the league, and a very good goaltender in Jacob Markstrom.

This hasn’t been the worst stretch that the Kraken has played , with 4 victories in 10 games, but it is hard to see them slowing that Calgary chuckwagon down. Grubauer has not played well since the break, and the offense will need more than their usual 2+ goals a game to have any success vs. the Flames. My biggest concern would be the Flames underestimating the Kraken, but with Darryl Sutter cracking the whip, that is unlikely to happen. Take the Flames to win on the puck line.
