Calgary vs Ottawa Free Pick March 9, 2018
The Flames finally got off the schneid with a 5-1 road win at Buffalo on Wednesday, but their playoff hopes are still on life support. They are in Canada’s Capital tonight, taking on the cellar dwelling Senators. This is a must win game for the Flames, who currently sit three points back of LA. The Kings occupy the final Wild Card spot in the West, and LA also has a game in hand. The Senators are also in a heated battle, but not for a playoff spot. Ottawa is one of a handful of teams that are suspected to be tanking, competing for the league’s worst record. They are just a few points up on the Sabres and the Coyotes, and I don’t see any reason why they would want to put any more distance between them in the standings. They lost 4-3 to the Sabres in a shootout last night, in a game that neither team really wanted to win. Ottawa might start backup goaltender Mike Condon in the second game of a back to back, and he’s just 4-12-5 with a 3.24 GAA this season.
Take CAL.
