Nashville Predators at Calgary Flames
By Sam Batz
On Monday, April 10th the Nashville Predators (88pts) will continue their 2-game tour of Canada by taking on Western Conference rivals the Calgary Flames (90 pts) (9:30 PM EST, NHLPP/ESPN+). The Predators are undefeated (2-0-0) against the Flames, and on Monday, play for the sweep. Nashville averages 3.0 goals per game against Calgary, while the Flames average just 1.0 goal per game against the Predators. Despite having never beaten Nashville, the Flames are -1.5 goal favorites with a Moneyline priced at -200. The Predators are +1.5 goal underdogs, and are priced at +165 in the Moneyline.
Nashville Predators Breakdown (+165)
Nashville is hanging on by a thread with just a 5% chance to make the Stanley Cup Playoffs. They are at risk of snapping their playoff streak of 8 straight appearances, but with a record of 40-31-8 (88 points), the Predators are in real danger. In their last 10 games, they went 5-5-0 (10 pts) and are coming off a devastating 0-2 loss against their division rivals, the Winnipeg Jets. The loss to Winnipeg nearly killed Nashville’s chances to make the postseason, taking their odds from 20% to 5%, but a loss to the Flames on Monday could wipe the Predators out completely. On the road, Nashville wins about 47% of the time, but as Underdogs on the road, their probability of winning drops to about 42%.
Calgary Flames Breakdown (-200)
The Flames are 37-27-16 (90 points) and are in a very similar situation to Nashville. Calgary is being given a 19% chance to make the playoffs, which are better odds than the Predators, but it’s certainly not an ideal situation for the Flames. They are trying to make back-to-back playoff appearances, but as things stand, it’s not looking great. The Flames haven’t won the Stanley Cup since 1989 and the city is hungry for another. But first, the Flames have to get past the Predators in order to have a shot at the Cup.

Predators vs. Flames Prediction
Take the Calgary Flames to win on Monday. The Predators are a decent team but they struggle to score goals, and will have a hard time keeping up with the Flames fast-paced attack. Don’t get me wrong, this is destined to be a great game, and with all the playoff implications, these players are going to come out ready to play. But the Flames are the hotter team right now, recording 34 goals and 31 against in their last 10 games, compared to Nashville who recorded 20 goals and 24 against in their last 10. I predict the Flames will avoid being swept by Nashville and Calgary’s postseason dreams will remain intact.
