Flames vs Predators predictions

As the Calgary Flames gear up to face the Nashville Predators, all eyes might be on Jonathan Huberdeau, who's been leading the charge with nine goals this season. Given his current form and ability to perform under pressure, it wouldn't be surprising to see him add to his tally. Another Flame to watch is MacKenzie Weegar, whose knack for setting up plays with 12 assists could prove crucial in breaking through the Predators' defense. With these two on the ice, the Flames are looking pretty fiery!

On the flip side, the Nashville Predators have their own aces, like Filip Forsberg. Forsberg, with nine goals to his name, has a shooting prowess that could really challenge the Flames' goaltenders. And let's not overlook Roman Josi, whose impressive 16 assists and 23 points make him a standout. His ability to orchestrate plays from the back and push forward could spark Nashville's offense, especially crucial as they look to snap their losing streak.

Considering the current trajectories of both teams, the Flames seem to have the upper hand, particularly when you factor in their slightly better season record and road performance against the struggling Predators. Though Nashville has the home advantage and some strong individual performers, the Calgary Flames might just have that extra bit of firepower and momentum to take the win in this matchup. What do you think, can the Predators turn their luck around or will the Flames keep burning bright?
