Tricky bit of scheduling here for the Flames, back home after a three-game swing to the Eastern provinces in Canada. First games home after longer road trips are often dicey, and Calgary's inconsistencies this season add further risk to a Flames recommendation. We'd rather look at the Canucks who have outskated the Flames all season as one of the league's surprise packages, with wins in seven of the last eight. Play Canucks on Money Line

The Vancouver Canucks are facing a tough schedule spot. They have just played three consecutive road games, followed by one home game, and now they are on the road again. After playing against the New York Islanders on Wednesday night, they must travel 602 miles. Currently, Calgary has a plus-40 shot differential, while the Canucks are at minus-23. Additionally, the Flames have a strong record of 18-6 against the Canucks in Calgary, which is hard to ignore.
