Calgary has won five of seven, including 3-2 over Vancouver on Saturday when Jacob Markstrom stopped 22 shots and the Flames scored three second-period goals and held on. Markstrom is expected again tonight for the Flames and he owns a 2.78 goals-against average, allowing just 11 goals in his past five appearances. The 13-year has brushed aside a rough patch from early December, winning four of his past five starts. Winnipeg has split its past 10 games and has had trouble scoring recently as the Jets have just 10 goals their past five games, although they did pull out a 2-1 victory over Edmonton on Saturday. Calgary won the only meeting this season 3-2 on Nov. 12. The Flames are 22-8 their past 30 games playing with two days rest and they have won six of eight overall after allowing two or fewer goals their previous game. For this one I'm making two plays on the road squad: Take the Flames on the moneyline (Max Play), and book a 1-unit play on the puck line as well.
