Flames vs. Sharks Prediction and Odds: Continue to Back Calgary
The Calgary Flames are in the top spot in the Pacific Division at 15-5-5, but need to get back in the win column after a 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights on Sunday.
They head back to California tonight to face the San Jose Sharks, who have lost two straight games and have begun to stumble down the Western Conference standings.
The two teams have faced each other once already this season, when the Sharks secured a 4-1 victory against the Flames in Calgary on Nov. 9th.

Flames vs. Sharks Prediction and Pick
The Calgary Flames continue to be one of the best defensive teams in the NHL. Not only do they rank sixth in opponent high danger scoring chances, but they have the best team save percentage in the NHL and are averaging the fewest goals against per 60 minutes of play at just 2.01.
The Sharks show no signs of being able to hang with the Flames, as they rank 26th in CORSI% and 22nd in high danger scoring chances.
The Flames have the best goal differential in the NHL for a reason, and I'm going to continue to back them until Calgary cools off.
Pick: Flames -140
