How to Watch:

Time: 7 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST)

Our second game of NHL predictions has the Flames going for the season sweep against the Boston Bruins. Devin Cooley is the projected starter for the Flames after Dustin Wolf started against the Canadiens. Calgary is 5-5 in its previous 10 games but have lost its last two games in a row. MacKenzie Weegar has four assists in the Flames’ last 10 games.

Jeremy Swayman is the probable starter for the Bruins, who are looking to overturn a 2-1 loss to the Flames on December 29. Boston is 3-5-2 in its last 10 games but has won two of its last three games. David Pastrnak leads the team in assists (29) and points (48) so far this campaign.

Calgary has been playing well. However, Boston should get the win to even the season series.

Prediction: Bruins win 4-2.
