Florida Panthers vs Calgary Flames

Head-to-Head: Panthers 0-1 Flames

How to Watch: US TV: Scripps Florida; ESPN+. Canada TV: SNW.

Time: 9 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)

Our last game of NHL predictions has the Florida Panthers looking for the season split against the Calgary Flames. Daniil Tarasov is the expected starter after the Panthers got a shutout from Sergei Bobrovsky against the Edmonton Oilers. Florida is 4-6 in the last 10 games, but did blank Edmonton last time out. Sam Reinhart leads the team in goals (29), assists (32), and points (61).

Dustin Wolf is the probable starter for the Flames, who are 3-6-1 in their previous 10 games. However, Calgary did beat the St Louis Blues in a shootout last time out. Mikael Backlund is tops in assists (23) and points (38) this season after a number of trades.

Florida may not make the Stanley Cup Playoffs. However, the Panthers are playing strong to end the season.

Prediction: Panthers win 4-1.
