Free Vancouver Canucks vs. Calgary Flames NHL Prediction
The Canucks defense looked bad in the last game and I expect that is going to let them down again in this game. Look for the Flames to score five or six goals, and that is going to be the difference as the Flames get the job done. Back the Flames -1.5.
