NHL Odds: Flames-Avalanche Knights prediction, pick, how to watch (ClutchPoints)

We're in the Rocky Mountains sharing our NHL odds series, making a Flames-Avalanche prediction and pick while showing you how to watch.

It is difficult to pick a winner because the Avs will be playing on the sceond of a back-to-back. The offense needs a boost, as they rank 24th in goals, 26th in shooting percentage, and eighth on the powerplay. Can the Avalanche play well enough in front of him? The Flames by all accounts, lost the blockbuster trade they made in the summer. The Flames went 1 for 4 on the powerplay and 1 for 2 on the penalty kill. But they must keep their foot on the gas pedal as they try to get healthy. The Flames and Avalanche have split the season series this season. It will be the first time the teams meet in Colorado this season. The Avalanche steamrolled the Winnipeg Jets 5-1 in Canada. The Oilers are 4-3-3 over the past 10 games. The Avs allowed a goal soon after. The Flames fell 4-3 in overtime to the Vegas Golden Knights, blowing a 2-goal lead.

Calgary Flames vs. Colorado Avalanche Prediction, NHL Odds (Sports Interaction)

The Avs are in the way of the Flames both when it comes to the final playoff spot in the West, and also when they meet Saturday night in Denver.

With two points in Friday’s win, MacKinnon remained the team’s leading scorer with 67 points in 44 games. For a team that’s a couple points out of a playoff position, not being able to win in extra time is currently the difference in Calgary’s season. Calgary took their season opener 5-3 against the Avs, and Colorado got revenge on January 18 in a 4-1 win with both contests played in Calgary. The Avalanche have a single regulation loss in their last 10 meetings with the Flames, winning seven of those contests too. The Flames have been off since Thursday and are wrapping up a three-game road trip in which they are currently 1-0-1. Calgary’s three points back of the Avalanche, but Colorado has three extra games in hand.
