We stay away from games with lines of -200 or higher and this one barely squeaks in under that guideline. In order to play a line this big, we need to be pretty darn sure of our pick and that's the case here. The Sharks had a chance to close things out on Sunday and they played excellent defense. But, their offense struggled resulting in this game 7. That was a must-win for Calgary and not for San Jose and it showed. This is now a win or go home game and the superior team, at home, will prevail. Both defenses are thriving right now but let's not forget that Calgary allowed 3.0 goals per game on the road this season. The Sharks will not struggle again like they did on Sunday. The Flames are just 52-80 the past three seasons on the road including 20-46 vs. winning opponents. The better team prevails here.
