Ducks vs Flames Prediction
Anaheim comes into this matchup on a nice winning streak and they have allowed two goals or fewer in four of their last five games. The Ducks are 12-13-2 on the road this year, while the Flames are 13-9-3 at home. Calgary has lost three games in a row and they have scored exactly one goal in all three of those losses. The Flames are one of the lowest scoring teams in the NHL and they will face an Anaheim team that is showing a ton of improvement on defense. This should be a great game, but I have to go with the Ducks on the road.
