Florida had to play yesterday while Calgary is rested. This is a tough situational spot for Florida, a long way from home and heading north of the border into the cold arctic air. The Panthers are 29-63 on the road and 42-88 playing on no days rest, having won last night at Vancouver. Calgary is on a two-game skid but are good at home and well balanced at #13 in goals scored and #17 in goals allowed. Calgary has had several key players return from injury this week, most notably Mikael Backlund. The Flames are 11-4 against a team with a losing record. The Flames have won their last three matchups with the Panthers and seven of the past 10, so grab the rested home team and play on Calgary.
