Calgary Flames (-146) vs. Ottawa Senators (+122) | O/U 6.5 (-104/-118)

The Flames were busy in the offseason trying to upgrade their offense, but they've seen a drop in their Expected Goals Percentage from last year.

The signing of Jonathan Huberdeau has been a disappointment, and he is projected to have just 54 points this season after grabbing 115 last year with the Panthers.

The signing of Nazem Kadri has been great, with 20 goals, but the best of their offense comes from their returning players Elias Lindholm and Tyler Toffoli, each of whom has over 40 points.

The key storyline for the Senators is their goaltending situation. Cam Talbot is already on injured reserve, and now Anton Forsberg will be out for the foreseeable future after suffering MCL tears in both knees.

Mads Sogaard and Kevin Mandolese will be the guys who take over with Sogaard getting the start. He has played in just three NHL games, and this year in the AHL, he's 6-9-2 with a .898 save percentage.

We'll likely see Dan Vladar between the pipes, and he's won five of his last six allowing 2.66 goals. Pair that with a stellar forward going against an inexperienced goalie, and it will be all Flames.

Pick: Flames 60 min ML (+108)
