Matt Coronato has seen an uptick in shots and scoring chances since the trade deadline.<\/p>\n

My Lightning vs. Flames predictions expect the added responsibility to lead to results against Jonas Johansson and a fatigued Tampa side playing its fourth road game in six days.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get into my NHL picks<\/a> for Sunday, March 22.<\/p>\n

Lightning vs Flames predictionLightning vs Flames best bet: Matt Coronato Over 0.5 points (+105)<\/p>\n

Matt Coronato has become an even bigger focal point of the Calgary Flames’ offense with Nazem Kadri no longer in the picture.<\/p>\n

He ranks second on the team in shots, second in expected goals, and first in scoring chances since the deadline.<\/p>\n

The added responsibility and uptick in volume should serve him well against the Tampa Bay Lightning. They\u2019re playing in a road back-to-back, which means Andrei Vasilevskiy will get the night off.<\/p>\n

Backups generally start the second leg, making it no coincidence the Lightning have allowed 3.67 goals per game in the back half of B2B\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Lightning vs Flames same-game parlay<\/p>\n

Morgan Frost is centering Coronato on the top offensive line, and they also play together on the man advantage. Shooting on a netminder with an .884 SV% is the cherry on top.<\/p>\n

Frost has fared remarkably well at generating shots against good defensive sides. Isolating matchups against Top-10 shot suppression teams, Frost has multiple shots on target in 11 of his last 14 games.<\/p>\n
