My Flames analysis
The Calgary Flames didn’t start this road trip too hot with a 6-2 loss in Toronto, but the Flames have turned up the heat with wins against the Rangers and Devils to get back into the thick of the playoff race.
That included a mighty impressive 2-1 win with a 35-13 shot advantage in the second half of a back-to-back set in New York.
The Flames needed to end a three-game slide and did just that at Madison Square Garden. They followed that up with a comeback win against the Devils, and now they get a chance to make it three wins in a row on Saturday afternoon.
Calgary catches a bit of a break against the New York Islanders, with backup goalie Marcus Hogberg expected to start for the home favorites.
His numbers on the season are respectable (2-3-0, 1.70 GAA. .938 SV%), but he’s made one start since January, and that was a 4-1 loss in Anaheim on March 9.
The Isles are built on the back of their goaltending with starter Ilya Sorokin and the injured Semyon Varlamov.
Take advantage of the Flames as underdogs against an inferior netminder on Saturday afternoon.
