Our second and featured game of NHL predictions has the Calgary Flames visit the Montreal Canadiens in an all-Canada affair. Dustin Wolf is the likely starter for the Flames, who are 6-4 in their last 10 games. However, Calgary has dropped its last two games entering this matchup. This game could see the debut of Zayne Parekh in a Flames jersey. Nazem Kadri leads the team in assists (24) and points (32) so far.

Jacob Fowler is the projected starter for the Canadiens, who are 6-2-2 in the last 10 and coming off a victory over the Stars on Monday night. Montreal averages 3.31 goals scored per game, which is good enough for seventh in the league. Cole Caufield leads the team in goals with 20 so far this season.

The Flames have been playing well. However, the Habs should record the victory.

Prediction: Canadiens win 5-2.
