They’ll try and stop a Calgary PP that ranks in the Top 10 on the season and has eight PP goals over its last 10 games, despite not scoring with the man advantage for three straight games. He owns a .878 SV% since January 1 and is 7-2 to the Over in his last nine starts. With the Flames coming off a goal-less performance, Sutter is likely telling this team to simply get pucks on net. Lindholm has at least two shots in nine straight games, and with nobody really scoring on that line, Lindholm could take it upon himself to get things done. Elias Lindholm had six shots in the last meeting and sits second on the team in shots on net over the last 12 games. The Flames are doing a great job at scoring lately and now get to face the league’s worst penalty-killing team in Vancouver. Demko has been playing a ton of late and is 10-2 to the Over in his last 12 starts. Bruce Boudreau has done a great job with the Canucks but Sutter knows how to get his team up and tonight’s game is a huge revenge spot. Vladar held the Avalanche to two goals on 31 shots in his last outing and has been tasked with some big games of late. They've been one of the best offenses in hockey lately, but regression may have caught up to them as they were blanked by the Red Wings in their last game and scored just once versus the Bolts three games ago. The Canucks are no slouch themselves and the +110 price is deserving. It might have been a quiet flight for the Flames last night after getting blanked by Buffalo, 1-0, at home.

“Hani had a nice goal to get that first one for us, then we had a few shifts of sustained pressure that got us two and three. It was probably the worst game of the year. “When you think about it, other than one game in Carolina, Lindy, Johnny and Matthew have played together every game this year. If we’re going to try to make fancy plays and long plays, that doesn’t work for our team. “We’re a team that has to kill plays. You’ve got to touch all the bases.
