Thursday NHL Pick

The Calgary Flames are the hottest team in hockey and coach Darryl Sutter has his boys clicking on every cylinder. Tonight they will seek their 11th straight win and a franchise record when they visit the Vancouver Canucks. Vancouver is a mediocre 11-10-3 at Rogers Arena and had better bring their A-game if they want to score goals because they will be facing the best defense in the league as well as their former goalie, Jacob Markström, who has 8 shutouts on the season with a GAA of 2.06 and a 0.928 SV%. Calgary is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings overall with the Canucks and 5-2 in their last 7 in Vancouver. The Flames stay hot.
TONIGHT’S PICK: CALGARY FLAMES
