| The Flames are 4-1-1 in the last 6 games and hope to continue to roll against a team they have owned lately (Kipper has 9 straight wins vs the Avs). Finally the PP scored at home last game endoing the 0-for-29 streak. Colorado has lost 6 games in a row on the road, the Dome won’t be friendly either. 5-2 Flames – Iginla (x2), Jokinen, Backlund & Kostopoulos |
