The Calgary Flames have been red hot of late, coming off three consecutive wins and winning four of their last five. Tonight they'll be up against an even hotter team in the Ottawa Senators though, as they've suffered only one defeat over their last eight match-ups. The home team has won each of the last four games in the series, and I think that's a trend that will continue tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Goaltending - Karri Ramo figures to tend the net for the Flames for this contest, as he did when Calgary defeated the Sens 4-2 on home ice earlier in the season. Ramo had gone 0-3-1 with a 4.11 GAA over his previous four meetings with the Sens though and could be in for a rough one tonight as well. Ottawa's rookie Andrew Hammond has played a huge part in its recent success, going 7-0-1 behind a 1.43 GAA since Craig Anderson went down with an injury. Anderson could be back in goal here though, looking to keep building on the momentum he had built up prior to the injury going 7-3-3 with a 2.03 GAA over 13 contests.

2. Home Cookin' - Calgary is an impressive 19-13-1 away from home for the season, but that's surely nothing that scares the Sens as they've won four of their last five when hosting a team with a winning road record.

3. X-Factor - Mike Hoffman is leading the Sens with his 23 goals for the season and has tallied three and added three assists over his last five games.

Selection: This is a play on the Ottawa Senators (8*)
