Chicago Blackhawks vs. Calgary Flames, 9:30PM ET (View Matchup)
Chicago is 13-3 in their last 16 games against the Flames and 8-3 in their last 11 games in Calgary. The Flames are just 1-5 in their last 6 games as a home underdog. My pick goes with Chicago on the road as the Blackhawks are starting to face do-or-die status in terms of making a run or not making the playoffs. Chicago is too talented to have that happen and I see them picking up a big road win tonight.
