The Calgary Flames look to make it back-to-back wins when they visit the New York Islanders on Saturday afternoon.

My Flames vs. Islanders predictions have Calgary's recent dominance in this head-to-head continuing, and will snatch a third straight 2-game regular-season series sweep.

Read on for my NHL picks for Saturday, March 14. 

Flames vs Islanders prediction

Flames vs Islanders best bet: Flames ML (+145)


The Calgary Flames are coming off a 5-4 win over the Devils. It's just the fourth time in 17 games they've scored four or more goals, but each time they've been victorious.

That trend works with the New York Islanders, as they've tallied at least four goals in seven of the last nine meetings, going 6-0-1 in those games.

After a season-best five-game win streak, New York has lost three of five and is clinging to third in the Metropolitan Division.

The Flames aren't the team they want to meet: Calgary has won four straight against the Islanders and eight of the last 10.

Yegor Sharangovich scored a goal in his last game against Jersey, and he's now got two goals in his last three games. He also scored a goal the last time the Flames faced the Isles.

And Matthew Barzal was kept off the scoresheet in New York's loss to LA, but that's just the second time in 12 games that's happened.
