The red hot Calgary Flames (41-27-4 SU, 39-33 ATS) look to continue their climb up the Western Conference standings when they visit the Nashville Predators on Thursday night. Since starting the first 16 games of the season 5-11, they’ve hit their stride, winning 12 of their last 13 games. They beat the Los Angeles Kings 5-2 on Sunday, and the Dallas Stars 3-1 on Friday thanks in some part to goaltender Brian Elliott. The former All-Star has put up an impressive 15-1-1 record since January 26th. He didn’t have his best effort the last time he met Nashville, but still managed to come away with a 6-5 overtime victory.

Nashville (36-25-11 SU, 34-38 ATS) has been looking to find that consistency with their netminder, Pekka Rinne, who has been incredible at some points, and struggled at others. There haven’t been concerns at the other end of the ice with the offense averaging almost three goals a game. Center Filip Forsberg has been a big contributor to Nashville’s highly-ranked offense, scoring 29 times this season after going scoreless in the first 13 games of the season. Forsberg had a hat trick against the Flames just a month ago.

The Flames are just too hot to go against right now. Elliott has been terrific and the Flames knocked Rinne out of the game last month. The Predators should not be favored in this game. Take the road dog.

Pick: Flames +125
