Predictions

Mark: Calgary Flames 1 - Winnipeg Jets 3

I don’t like when the Flames are the favorite. I don’t like when the Flames haven’t played meaningful hockey in over 100 days. And I certainly don’t like when the Flames have a rough exhibition outing, that in the end means nothing. Connor Hellebuyck is good, like really good and that never goes well for the Flames. So maybe the reverse jinx will work, but I’m sensing a Winnipeg victory and that could make this a quicker series…
