When the Vancouver Canucks take the ice at Rogers Arena, they are always the side to consider and that is where they will be tonight when they host the Calgary Flames. The best in the West Canucks boast a 44-18-8 overall record and are 23-7-4 on their home ice. The Flames, who need lots of prayers and help if they want to make the postseason, enter tonight’s game with an overall record of 33-30-5 and are 15-14-4 when away from the Scotiabank Saddledome. Vancouver is rolling and Calgary is not. The Canucks are 6-1-1 over their last 8 and the Flames have just 2 wins in their last 6 games. The Canucks will be without their #1 goalie, Thatcher Demko, again but no worries, Casey DeSmith has filled in just fine. Vancouver won the last meeting with the Flames in Calgary back in December and I expect they notch another one tonight.
TONIGHT’S PICK: VANCOUVER CANUCKS
