Predictions

Mark: Calgary Flames 2 – Boston Bruins 5

I want to predict a worse outcome, but as much as the Bruins have been holding their opponents to just over a goal per game in their last 13 wins (1.08 GA), they haven’t been pumping in goals like crazy. Until tonight. The Bruins have won 9 out of their last 10 and the inconsistent Flames appear to be easy picking for the B’s. But because this is the 2019-20 Flames, they could end up winning 6-1. I literally have NO idea anymore.

Maddie: Boston Bruins 3 – Calgary Flames 1

I don’t feel super good about this is one, gang. The Bruins are playing extremely well recently, and the Flames, while they’ve had some good moments, haven’t exactly been consistent and are definitely vulnerable. Maybe they surprise us in this one, but it’s hard to bet against the Bruins, unfortunately.
