If misery loves company, the Calgary Flames (31-36-8 SU, 42-33 ATS) and Anaheim Ducks (41-30-5 SU, 38-38 ATS) should have a perfectly pleasant evening together. Both clubs have been bleeding oals and dropping games at an uncomfortable rate lately. The Flames visit the Honda Center, where the Ducks enter as -154 home favorites at FanDuel, with the total set at 6.5 goals. With 70 points, the Flames are stuck near the lower end of the Western Conference wild-card chase, sitting multiple points back of the last playoff position. Meanwhile, Anaheim is safely in a postseason spot but will want to ignite some momentum heading into the playoffs.

calgary flames vs. anaheim ducks Pick

The Flames arrive in Anaheim carrying a road record that reads like a cry for help: 10-24-3 away from the Saddledome. Four straight losses on the road, sitting below league average with 2.53 goals per game, and a defense that’s been anything but stingy (3.16 GPG). Last time out on Thursday night in Vegas, the Golden Knights handed Calgary a 6-3 thumping. The Flames actually led 3-2 in the second period before the wheels came off entirely, giving up four unanswered goals. That’s now three defeats in the last four games, with 15 goals surrendered across the final two outings alone and the kind of defensive showcase makes this road trip to the Pacific leaders feel even more daunting.

Anaheim very much has something to play for. The Ducks are perched atop the Pacific, sharing 87 points with the Oilers, averaging a top-10 3.24 goals per game while generating 30.4 shots a night. Their home record of 23-10-3 makes Honda Center one of the trickier barns in the Western Conference this season. That said, the Ducks are not exactly walking into this one exuding confidence. They’ve lost four straight, most recently getting embarrassed 6-2 at home by the Blues on Friday; meaning they’ll skate tonight on a back-to-back, legs tired and ego slightly bruised.

Anaheim’s penalty kill operating at just 77.2% and their goals-against average sitting bottom five at 3.5 tells you this team isn’t winning on defense; they win when they outscore people.

The head-to-head history doesn’t do Calgary any favors either. The two clubs met just last Thursday, with Anaheim escaping Calgary with a 3-2 overtime win at the Saddledome. Calgary has given up more than three goals per game pretty much all season and things have only gotten worse recently. Anaheim isn’t much better defensively. Both teams are built to score rather than defend, and neither penalty kill is something to brag about. I like the OVER here. 

Flames Vs. Ducks Pick: OVER 6.5 (-114)

Leo Carlsson 3+ Shots On Goal (-130 at FanDuel)

With Anaheim shots leader Cutter Gauthier (271) ruled out with an upper-body injury, the workload is going to be spread out along the bench. Leo Carlsson has taken over, sniping four or more shots in his last three outings, pocketing 13 total. With Calgary coughing up 31.3 shots over its last 10 matchups, Carlsson can continue with his eager stick.
