Calgary is 31st in scoring, 17th in goals against, 31st on the power play, and 18th on the penalty kill. Nazem Kadri leads the team in assists and points. This is the best few games in a row that the Flames have played all season and their first three-game winning streak. This team has already had a few long losing streaks, and now they have finally had both sides of the puck click. They are still one of the lowest scoring teams in the Western Conference and looking to slowly get back with teams in the Pacific standings. Calgary will try to match their current high offense with the Bolts.

Tampa Bay is 12th in scoring, tied for seventh in goals against, 22nd on the power play, and second on the penalty kill. Nikita Kucherov leads the team in assists and points. The Lightning have won four games in a row and three in a row at home. In those three home victories, the defense has only allowed two goals. The Bolts are still finding ways to win despite having some key guys out on offense and defense. Vasilevskiy is going through a hot stretch. The offense is getting depth and scoring goals throughout the game.

Best Bet: Lightning Spread

Even though the Flames’ offense is trending up, the test might be big for them against the Lightning. Two of Calgary’s most recent wins were against other below-average teams, but they did beat a good Dallas Stars team 3-2. However, the Lightning have more depth, a strong penalty kill, and goaltending going for them.
