Cherry Picks: Saturday, Mar. 5
Don Cherry's NHL Pick for Saturday:
Two of the best teams in the NHL go at it tonight in Denver. The Avalanche have 7 wins in their last 10 games and the Flames have 8 wins in their last 10 games. Both teams are looking for a bounce back after losses. The Flames lost to the Habs and the Av’s lost to the Coyotes on Thursday. This is going to be quite a battle, but I think I will Darryl Sutter’s Flames get the money at +1.5. So, I'm playing the puckline.
The Cherry Pick: Calgary Flames +1.5 goals at -189 (puckline)
