Calgary Flames vs Tampa Bay Lightning: Pick
Brayden Point started the season with 6 goals and 10 assists for the Tampa Bay Lightning. The centre is an integral part of the team as he is the linkup point for the team's offense.
Brayden has 3 goals and 5 assists against Calgary in 9 games in his career. There is a clear chance that he will have a good game against the away team tonight.

Calgary Flames vs Tampa Bay Lightning: Prediction
The Flames have managed to win only four out of the last ten games they have played against the Lightning. However, they did win this season's earlier encounter between the two teams.
But this will be a different test as Calgary will be playing away from home and it has been difficult for teams to beat Tampa Bay at home.
Final Prediction: Total Over 6.5 (+100)
