Tonight from Scotiabank, the host Calgary Flames look for a 2-0 Western Quarterfinal series lead against the Colorado Avalanche.
After a high-scoring, competitive season series -which Calgary won three games to nil- the Flames shut out Colorado 4-0 in game 1 of the teams’ best-of-seven rendezvous. Seeking answers on both ends, the Avs’ will no doubt adjust strategies for game two.
Colorado Avalanche
Outperformed in every key area Thursday night, Colorado failed to match the intensity of a Flames group playing before a frenzied home crowd.
Now, Mikko Rantanen and Gabe Landeskog will need to rally their charge in an effort to grab home ice advantage from a team they’ve lost against four times this season.

Avs backstop Philipp Grubauer must also avoid sliding further into postseason oblivion after the 27-year-old floundered again under the NHL’s bright lights. Grubauer allowed three pucks to pass as he seemed uncertain of himself on the road before a raucous Calgary contingent.
Calgary Flames
Thursday, Calgary took the fight to Colorado and changed the competitive narrative from regular season hockey and ratcheted it up to playoff intensity.
Mike Smith stopped all 26 shots manning net for the West’s top seed as Matthew Tkachuks’ two goals fanned the Flames’ offensive spark.

Free Colorado Avalanche vs. Calgary Flames NHL Prediction:
Again, while throwing what seemed to be waves of unstoppable lines at overmatched Colorado, the Flames did what all quality teams do and flipped the post season switch against a team that gave them regular season fits.
Though, Colorado is resilient and will make the necessary adjustments: however, those adjustments won’t be enough cover from the Flames’ home intensity.
