Ducks Riding Home Momentum

Anaheim comes into Sunday night with a 32-23-3 overall record and an impressive 19-8-1 home record. The Ducks have won four of their last five games, most recently defeating Winnipeg 5-4 in overtime. They also secured wins over Edmonton, Seattle, and Vegas, with their only recent loss coming against Vancouver.

Offensively, Anaheim is producing 3.25 goals per game while allowing 3.51 goals against. They generate 30.1 shots per game and give up 28.8 shots. The Ducks have scored 31 power play goals with a 17.9% success rate, but they have allowed 40 power play goals against and have a 77.8% penalty kill percentage.

The Ducks’ home scoring has been a key factor in their success. With four straight home wins entering this contest and 19 total home victories on the season, Anaheim has shown it can outscore opponents in high-tempo games. They have also recorded seven short-handed goals and have not allowed one against, demonstrating situational awareness.

Flames vs Ducks Pick

Pick: Anaheim Ducks Moneyline

Anaheim’s 19-8-1 home record stands out in this matchup, especially against a Calgary team that is just 9-17-2 on the road. The Ducks are averaging more than three goals per game and have been riding strong offensive momentum at home. While Calgary’s defense has been respectable, Anaheim’s ability to generate shots and capitalize in transition gives them the edge.

Flames vs Ducks Total Pick

Pick: Over (if total is set at 6.0)

Anaheim allows 3.51 goals per game and plays in several high-scoring contests. Calgary has shown flashes offensively, and both teams are capable of creating chances off the rush. Given the Ducks’ recent scoring surge and Calgary’s defensive inconsistencies on the road, I expect this game to feature multiple goals. I am leaning toward the over.

Final Score Prediction: Anaheim Ducks 4, Calgary Flames 3
