Calgary has won seven of the past nine meetings and the Flames will attempt to snap a three-game skid after winning four in a row. They have the right opponent to do it as Columbus has lost 52 of its past 66 road games and 15 of its past 20 Thursday games. The Blue Jackets currently have lost seven of nine and they come off two straight losses, which were both 4-1 scores against New Jersey and Edmonton. The Flames have gone OVER six of 10, including Tuesday's 4-3 loss to St. Louis. Jacob Markstrom is probable with a 13-12-2 record and 2.64 goals-against average for Calgary. Elvis Merzlikins is 8-10-6 with a 3.29 GAA on the season and just a .874 save percentage his past three games for Columbus, which allows 3.74 goals on the season. Play the Flames and the OVER.
