Flames Set to Ignite the Ice at Bridgestone Arena Against Predators

As the Calgary Flames prepare to face off against the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their recent trend of success. The Flames have been on a hot streak, showcasing their ability to dominate on even strength and capitalize on powerplay opportunities.

In their last three games, the Flames have demonstrated a strong offensive presence. Their most recent victory against the Minnesota Wild saw them netting three goals during even-strength play and securing a win with solid goaltending that allowed only one goal against. This performance was backed by an impressive 58 percent faceoff win rate and a shooting percentage of 9 percent.

The game prior presented an even more dominant display as they outscored the Philadelphia Flyers with four goals to three. Despite winning fewer than half of their faceoffs, they managed to block 20 shots and had an empty-net goal that sealed their victory.

However, it wasn't all smooth skating for Calgary; they faced a setback in their match against the Seattle Kraken where despite outshooting them 38-21, they fell short by one goal. The powerplay unit did manage to score once out of four opportunities but will need more consistency moving forward.

As we look ahead to January 5th's matchup in Nashville, it's clear that maintaining puck control through faceoffs will be crucial for Calgary. While goaltending has been reliable with save percentages holding steady at 100 percent over these games, converting scoring chances especially during powerplays could make all the difference in this upcoming game.
