<p>Two weeks back, the <strong>Calgary Flames (6-8-3, 15 points)</strong> snapped their losing skid with a win in Seattle. They&#8217;ll hope to keep their string of effective play rolling when they face the <strong>Seattle Kraken (7-8-4, 18 points)</strong> again at Climate Pledge Arena. It&#8217;s a divisional game with two points on the line that could be very important in the playoff chase for both teams.</p>
<p>The broadcast begins at 8 p.m. MT on Sportsnet West and One, and Sportsnet 960 The Fan. <a href="https://betway.com/en/sports/grp/ice-hockey/north-america/nhl">The Flames are +100 underdogs to beat the Kraken on Betway</a>.</p>

<h2><strong>The Flames</strong></h2>
<p>Projected lines courtesy Daily Faceoff:</p>
<p>Sharangovich &#8211; Lindholm &#8211; Mangiapane<br />
Zary &#8211; Kadri &#8211; Pospisil<br />
Huberdeau &#8211; Backlund &#8211; Coleman<br />
Greer &#8211; Dube &#8211; Duehr</p>
<p>Weegar &#8211; Andersson<br />
Hanifin &#8211; Tanev<br />
Zadorov &#8211; DeSimone</p>
<p>Per Sportsnet&#8217;s Eric Francis, Dan Vladar starts, backed up by Jacob Markstrom. The projected extras are Dennis Gilbert and Adam Ruzicka.</p>
<p>Since the Flames beat Seattle back on Nov. 4, they&#8217;ve played six games and posted a 3-1-2 record. They haven&#8217;t been blow-away good necessarily, but aside from a poor third period against Ottawa they&#8217;ve been pretty effective in all three zones and their even strength play has been strong. What hasn&#8217;t been strong is their power play, which flat-out needs to be better if the Flames want to have an easier time winning the many, many close games they&#8217;re destined to be in for the rest of the season.</p>
<h2><strong>The Kraken<br />
</strong></h2>
<p>Projected lines courtesy Daily Faceoff:</p>
<p>McCann &#8211; Beniers &#8211; Eberle<br />
Schwartz &#8211; Wennberg &#8211; Tanev<br />
Tolvanen &#8211; Gourde &#8211; Bjorkstrand<br />
Kartye &#8211; Bellemare &#8211; Yamamoto</p>
<p>Dunn &#8211; Larsson<br />
Oleksiak &#8211; Borgen<br />
Dumoulin &#8211; Schultz<span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0"><br />
</span></p>
<p>We&#8217;re projecting Philipp Grubauer as starter, backed up by Joey Daccord. Their projected extras are Andrew Poturalski and Jaycob Megna.</p>
<p>Since their loss to the Flames, the Kraken have kept rolling along, posting a 3-2-2 record. Their most recent triumph was a Saturday night win over the Vancouver Canucks, who are quite good. The Kraken are arguably the Pacific coast mirror image of the Flames: they might not have oodles of game-breaking stars, but they&#8217;re well-coached, pretty deep, and can be a tough out when they&#8217;re on their game.</p>
