Flames at Capitals 2/1/19 - NHL Picks & Predictions

The Flames have been a team that has really surprised a lot of teams on the year with how well they have been playing on the season. The Flames are also a team that has really shocked people with the way they have been playing defense on the season when the fans and most critics thought the Flames were going to be playing with a washed up goalie most of the season with Mike Smith in net.

The Capitals on the year have relied on Braden Holtby in net. Holtby has been able to pick up a total of 17 wins on the year. Holtby has allowed only 3.10 goals a game, but has turned away 90.5%.

The Flames are playing at the top of their game and oddly have a better goalie matchup in this game here. Look for the goalie battle to be the highlight of this game as they are able to shut down a lot of the opponents on the year and that can make a difference in the game here as the Flames goalie in Rittich will make the difference and help bring home a Flames victory. Final Score Prediction, Calgary Flames win 2-1.
