T.M. Selection: Calgary Flames.

I like the Calgary Flames to win against the Pittsburgh Penguins in this game on Monday. The Flames just lost in their previous game to the Jets 4-2 but they had won 4 games in a row before that one and they have been playing some really good hockey lately. They only scored 2 goals in their loss to the Jets but they had scored 4+ goals in every game of that 4 game streak right before they lost to the Jets. They were not giving up more than 2 goals in any of those wins either. This team is hot and I think that they will bounce back in this game after that loss to the Jets. The Penguins had won 5 games in a row before losing to the Canadiens in their most recent game, and that loss came on home ice too. Their goaltending was great in those 5 games as they didn't give up more than 1 goal in any of them. They gave up 6 goals in their most recent game though, and that was against the Canadiens who are 1 of the worst teams in the East. Now the penguins are starting a road trip out in Western Canada and I think that they are going to come out flat in this 1st game of their road trip. The Flames are not an easy team that the Penguins will be able to push around on the ice and I think that the Flames are going to play well here at home. I like the Flames to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Flames.
