The Calgary Flames and Tampa Bay Lightning entered the year with high expectations, but neither has particularly gotten off to hot starts.
Calgary Flames (+102) vs. Tampa Bay Lightning (-122) Total: 6.5 (O+102, U-124)
Even without fast starts for the Flames or Lightning, there’s still plenty to like about both rosters and where you can project them at the end of the regular season. The Flames are still trying to get out of their slump fully, but they’ve won two straight games and are 3-5-2 over their last ten. On the other hand, the Lightning are playing some strong hockey at the moment and are 6-3-1 over that same stretch of games while also winning two straight.
