Calgary vs Nashville Prediction: the Flames Will Outplay the Predators

Prediction for the NHL-1 match between Calgary vs Nashville, which will take place on January 5th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

The campaign's not looking good for Calgary. It's pretty clear that the Flames are going to be fighting for the wild card right up until April. There aren't many opportunities to get there, as there are a lot of players who are raring to go. Right now, Ryan Huskey's team is ninth in the overall West standings with 43 points. They've had a bit of a mix of wins and losses in the last four games. After their 3-1 win over Vancouver, they had a bit of a shocker with Utah, losing 3-5.

Nashville has been the surprise package this season. It's hard to believe the Predators haven't got a single point with this team. Andrew Brunette is still trusted by management, and to be fair, the results have improved. They've had five wins in a row in their last ten games. After a series of three failures in a row, the Predators were able to pull a shutout against Vancouver (3-0). But in the overall Western Conference standings, they're still at the bottom - 14th with 31 points.

Some experts think Nashville will win the next game, but we're not sure about writing off Calgary just yet. If one looks at how the Predators have done on the road, they've only won four out of 21 games! That's pretty negligible, and it's not like the Flames are going to do their best. They'll be looking to improve in front of their fans after a 3-5 loss to Utah. Also, it's the second day of back-to-back games for the Predators, so they might be running on empty. We're offering a bet on the home team.
