The Calgary Flames were busy ahead of this week’s NHL deadline, shipping away several key players like Nazem Kadri and MacKenzie Weegar.
That opens the door for players to step up into bigger roles, and I’ll break down why Matt Coronato will do just that for Calgary.
Find out more in my Hurricanes vs. Flames predictions and NHL picks for Saturday, March 7.
Hurricanes vs Flames prediction
Hurricanes vs Flames best bet: Matt Coronato Over 2.5 shots (+100)
The Calgary Flames lineup is looking pretty barren after the trade deadline, but Matt Coronato is one of the few bright spots remaining.
Coronato leads the team with 14 goals and 151 shots, and he’ll be relied upon even more heavily with Kadri shipped off to Colorado.
Coronato has logged Over 2.5 shots in three of his last four games, as well as eight of his last 10 outings.
The Flames don’t have many natural scorers left, so expect Coronato to lean into his shoot-first mentality.
