Anaheim Ducks vs Calgary Flames Moneyline Prediction

The Flames are coming off a 2-1 loss to the Seattle Kraken. Although their recent form has been inconsistent, with three losses in their last five games (2-2-1), they have won six of their last nine (6-2-1). Calgary’s defence has been its biggest strength lately, as it has allowed two goals or fewer in seven of those nine contests.

The Ducks’ 5-4 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday extended their winning streak to three games following previous victories over the Ottawa Senators and the Vancouver Canucks. This marks a turnaround for Anaheim, which lost six of its previous seven games. The Ducks have gone 4-5-1 in their last 10.

Anaheim has relied on its offence to get the job done, scoring at least five goals in its last three games. However, they’ve also allowed at least three each time. Facing a Calgary side that has posted strong defensive numbers is far from ideal for a Ducks team playing the second half of a road back-to-back. That rest advantage makes Calgary the favourite.

Anaheim Ducks vs Calgary Flames Projected Starting Goalies

Ville Husso is expected to start for Anaheim after Laurent Brossoit (.849 save percentage) got the nod against the Oilers on Thursday. However, neither goaltender has been particularly dominant.

The Flames are likely to start Wolf even though Devin Cooley (.914 save percentage) has returned from injured reserve. Calgary’s netminders have a slight statistical edge, but neither team’s goaltenders appear likely to steal the show in this matchup.

Anaheim Ducks vs Calgary Flames Player Prop

Joel Farabee recorded three shots on goal in Wednesday’s 2-1 loss to the Kraken. It was the fourth time in his last seven games that he had registered at least three. Farabee has cleared this line seven times already and has recorded multiple shots in all but five of his last 16 appearances.

Farabee should remain heavily involved, given his regular role on the top line and the first power-play unit. He’s also averaging a career-high 18:41 TOI/G and will face a Ducks team with the seventh-worst xGA in the league (38.06).

Anaheim Ducks vs Calgary Flames Total Goals Prediction

The Flames rank 30th in goals scored per game (2.44) and 24th in goals allowed (3.44). However, they’ve conceded just 1.6 goals per game across their last five home contests. The Ducks have the sixth-best offence, averaging 3.69 goals per game, but also rank 30th defensively, allowing 3.81.

The Ducks’ last six games have gone over 5.5 total goals, as have their previous two head-to-head meetings this season. While Calgary’s games have generally been lower-scoring, expect an open matchup, with Anaheim’s defensive issues and potential fatigue creating further opportunities.

Anaheim Ducks vs Calgary Flames Team News and Injury Report

Anaheim Ducks Team News and Injury Report

The Ducks are without Troy Terry (hip), who remains on long-term injured reserve, so Judd Caulfield has moved up to the first line.

Other sidelined Anaheim players include Ian Moore (lower body), Ryan Poehling (lower body), and A.J. Greer (upper body). However, none would likely have a prominent role if available.

The Ducks will play the second game of a back-to-back after facing the Oilers on Thursday. This will also be their third consecutive road game.

Calgary Flames Team News and Injury Report

The Flames are set to welcome Cooley back after he was activated from injured reserve on Thursday, although Wolf is expected to remain the starter for this game.

Forwards Jonathan Huberdeau (hip) and Samuel Honzek (lower body) remain out, leaving Calgary short-handed. As has been the trend in recent games, William Stromgren and Maxim Tsyplakov have taken on bigger offensive roles.

The Flames return home after a three-game road trip. They’ve had one day of rest, and this matchup marks the beginning of a three-game homestand.
