The Calgary Flames can make their final road game of the season a meaningful one if they can take at least a point from the Seattle Kraken.

Seattle is hanging on by a thread in the West Wild Card picture, starting Saturday, eight points back with four games to play. Any LA point earned, or Seattle not winning, is curtains for the Kraken.

My Flames vs. Kraken predictions and NHL picks target the total, as their most recent matchups have seen plenty of scoring.

Flames vs Kraken prediction

Flames vs Kraken best bet: Over 5.5 goals (-135)

It's been a beast of a trip for the Calgary Flames, with stops at Colorado (2), Dallas, Anaheim, and Vegas. No wonder they're 1-3-1.

That's two of the NHL's best teams and two of the top teams in the Pacific Division if you're scoring at home. They've definitely scored on Calgary, piling up 26 goals through five games.

The Seattle Kraken is the only sub-500 squad the Flames will face, and they've allowed four or more goals in four of the last five.

The Over has cashed in three straight meetings between these teams, and the total is set at a generous 5.5 Saturday night.

Flames vs Kraken same-game parlay


Joel Farabee is closing in on his third career 20-goal season, and he's been one of the few bright spots on Calgary's road trip, potting two goals and four points in the last five games.

Bobby McMann scored in the last game in Seattle's 4-3 SO win over Vegas, but he loves lighting up the Flames, with three goals against them in five career meetings.
