The Coach's NHL Friday Night - *SPECIAL OFFER*
(NHL) Calgary vs. Pittsburgh, 12/12/2014 2:00 PM, Score: 1 - 3
Point Spread: -1.50 | 155.00 Pittsburgh (Home)
Result: Win
Two of the highest scoring teams in the NHL will clash in Pittsburgh tonight as they Penguins are entertaining the Flames. The visitors are in the midst of a four game road trip, dropping the first two allowing four goals to both Buffalo and Toronto. The Pens have dominated them over recent season's and this match-up should be no different.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Goaltending - The Pens last game was at Madison Square Garden Monday so there's no reason they won't go with their No. 1 netminder Marc Andre Fleury here. He allowed four goals against the Rangers, but has owned the Flames winning five straight behind a 1.60 GAA. Karri Ramo tended the net for the visitors last night so we are likely to see Jonas Hiller between the pipes for Calgary. Hiller has lost his last three starts and has a 3.30 GAA over his last seven, of which he's won only two.

2. Special Teams - No other team has a better effiency on the power play than the Penguins. They're leading the league with their 25 goals on the man advantage, and will be up against one of the worst penalty killing units in the NHL tonight.

3. X-Factor - The Flames have won only one of the last eight meetings in Pittsburgh.

Selection: This is a play on the Pittsburgh Penguins (7*)
