Edmonton plays the second of a back-to-back road spot after a 2-1 loss at Vancouver last night. The Edmonton offense is #22 in the NHL in goals scored, #23 on the power play, and they are on an 8-5 run UNDER the total. Taylor Hall is in search of a bounce-back effort after he was held pointless while taking seven shots Saturday. His 15 goals lead the team, but he's failed to score in the past four games and has tallied once in the last 10 on the road. This is this sixth road game in the last seven contests, so they won't want to play an uptempo game. Calgary is home playing strong defense, going for its 10th straight home victory, and off a 4-1 win over Winnipeg that sailed UNDER. The Flames are aiming for the longest home winning streak in the NHL since Pittsburgh won 13 in a row two years ago. Look for a strong defensive effort by the home team and a conservative approach from the road-weary visitors. Play this one UNDER the total.
