Anaheim Ducks @ Calgary Flames Preview

The Calgary Flames (35-27-12) are clinging to their playoff hopes as they host the Anaheim Ducks (33-33-8). Calgary sits seven points out of the final wild card spot, making this a must-win game. The Flames are coming off a 3-1 loss to the Utah Hockey Club, while the Ducks secured a 4-3 shootout victory over the San Jose Sharks. Both teams are 5-4-1 in their last 10 games, but Calgary has dominated this matchup historically, winning eight of the last 10 meetings.

Offensively, the Flames have struggled, ranking 29th in goals per game (2.64), but they generate plenty of shots (10th in the league). The Ducks, meanwhile, rank 30th in goals per game (2.63) and have one of the league's worst power plays (13.0%). Defensively, Calgary has the edge, allowing 2.96 goals per game compared to Anaheim's 3.03. Goaltending will be key, with Dustin Wolf expected to start for Calgary and Lukas Dostal likely in net for Anaheim.

Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis

Calgary has dominated the head-to-head series, winning eight of the last 10 matchups. Five of those wins were by at least two goals. In their most recent meeting, the Flames defeated the Ducks 4-1 at Scotiabank Saddledome. Over the last 10 games, Calgary has averaged 3.7 goals per game against Anaheim, while the Ducks have managed just 2.3 goals per game. The under has hit in six of their last 10 meetings, reflecting the low-scoring nature of these contests.

Pick: Flames Moneyline (-160)

widget-odds-nhl-su-5572-ANA-CGY

The Flames are the better team on paper and have a strong track record against the Ducks, especially at home. While Calgary's offense has been inconsistent, their defensive edge and superior goaltending should be enough to secure a win. With their playoff hopes on the line, expect the Flames to come out motivated and take care of business.

Top Player Prop Picks

1. Nazem Kadri Anytime Goal Scorer (+132)

Kadri leads the Flames in goals this season and has been a consistent offensive threat. With Anaheim's poor penalty kill (28th in the league), Kadri is a strong candidate to find the back of the net, especially on the power play.

2. Leo Carlsson Anytime Goal Scorer (+320)

Carlsson has scored in three of his last five games and is one of Anaheim's most reliable offensive players. At +320, this is a value pick against a Calgary team that has allowed three or more goals in four of their last five games.

3. Total Goals Under 6.0 (-115)

Both teams have struggled offensively, and the under has hit in six of their last 10 meetings. With Calgary's goaltending duo performing well and Anaheim's offensive woes, this game is likely to stay under the total.
