Columbus is 4-4 in their last eight games, cashing four times as a dog of +180, +200, +115 and +140. They lost just 4-3 at mighty Vancouver the last game, a -240 favorite. They are a big dog again to a Calgary team that comes off a loss at rival Edmonton and has a three-game road trip on deck, three games against the West and two in their division. The Flames are short on depth, without D T.J. Brodie (upper body), D Chris Butler (leg), F Tim Jackman (upper body), F Michael Cammalleri (upper body) F Mikael Backlund (arm), Lee Stempniak (ankle) and Lance Bouma (upper body) all hurting or missing the last game. In addition, the Flames are 4-9 in their last 13 games against the Central division. Play Columbus.
