The go-against-Anaheim argument is a pretty persuasive one these days. Results suggest why...losses in 12 of the last 13 games, with the Ducks scoring just two goals or fewer in all of the losses. Meanwhile, disappointing Calgary still good for some top efforts at the Saddledome, where the Flames have recently beaten both VGK and LA, and Jacob Markstrom shut out Anaheim the last time he faced the Ducks on December 21. Note Anaheim's John Gibson (slated to start tonight) is off of a brutal month in goal, losing all six March starts while posting a poor 5.54 GAA. Play Flames on Puck Line
Anaheim has the third-worst offense in the NHL and has totaled seven goals in a five-game skid, so like most Ducks Under plays it will largely depend on their goaltending if this hits. Calgary is starting its No. 1 in Jacob Markstrom, who can easily shut out Anaheim for the second time this season. The Flames scored two goals or fewer in a majority of their March games as they play in April for the first time.
Anaheim is ready to call it a season, losers of 12 of their past 13 games, with 10 of those losses being by 2+ goals or more. Calgary is no world-beater, but their offense has shown signs of life of late thanks to their power play, which should have its way against a Ducks team handing out nearly five power plays per game and barely killing off half of them on the road over the last month. The Flames have won 10 of the last 12 matchups, with four of the last six coming by 2+ scores. Liking the price on Calgary's puck line tonight.
