HD’s Gameday gut feeling
The Flames dominated the head-to-head series last season, winning five of six. Two of those victories came by shootout. Playing in the Dome against a team on the 2nd night of back-toback games is what the Flames need to get back into the win column. 5-2 Flames – Iggy (x2), Tanguay, Stempniak & Sarich
Flames take game 1 of the BoA.
