Anaheim Ducks vs Calgary Flames

The Flaming C has been glowing lately as Calgary rides a three-game winning streak into this crucial tilt against the Ducks, who have dropped their last two contests and are slipping toward elimination in the Western Conference playoff race. Calgary’s lineup looks stronger coming into this matchup, especially with the expected return of Rasmus Andersson from a minor upper-body injury, bolstering their blue line. Meanwhile, Anaheim is still without forward Trevor Zegras, limiting their offensive punch and forcing Troy Terry and Mason McTavish to carry a heavy load. Notably, Nazem Kadri has scored seven points in his last four games against the Quack Attack, suggesting he could once again haunt them at the Saddledome. This late-season clash has postseason implications, particularly for the Flames, who are still vying for a wild card spot and can't afford to drop points to a middling team like Anaheim. At -165, the payout isn’t massive, but the odds lean favorably for Calgary given the trends, health, and stakes. While not a premium value, this is a solid pick for those seeking consistency over long-shot bets. Pick Grade: B-. Odds and availability are subject to change. This bet was made at 03/04/2025 04:26

Calgary’s top line, led by Nazem Kadri and Jonathan Huberdeau, has rediscovered chemistry during a three-game winning streak, and they’ll look to stay hot against a Ducks squad that’s dropped four of their last six outings. The Flames, fighting for a wild-card spot, are attacking with added urgency down the stretch. While Anaheim is well out of playoff contention, young scorers like Mason McTavish and Troy Terry have shown life, combining for ten goals in their last five games and causing trouble for defenders. However, both squads have shaky goaltending at the moment—especially Anaheim, who is still missing Lukas Dostal to injury and may roll with third-stringer Calle Clang. Add in that Calgary’s Jacob Markström has been inconsistent at home recently, and this matchup has all the signs of a high-scoring duel, especially given their prior two meetings this season both hit seven or more goals. Given both teams' defensive lapses and the Flames’ desperation, riding the Over yields decent value at -110. Odds and availability are subject to change. This bet was made at 03/04/2025 04:26

Backed by their hottest play of the season, the Calgary Flames enter this late-season tilt riding a four-game winning streak and are eyeing a potential final playoff push in the crowded Western Conference race. The visiting Anaheim Ducks, on the other hand, have limped to the finish line, dropping five of their last six and struggling to generate consistent offensive zone time. Adding more concern for the Quack Attack is the continued absence of Mason McTavish, sidelined with a lower-body injury — a huge loss in the face of the Flames’ tightening defensive play. Elias Lindholm and Jonathan Huberdeau have found chemistry lately, combining for nine points over their last three games, and Lindholm, in particular, has a strong career track record against Anaheim with 19 points in 17 career meetings. Meanwhile, John Gibson has had a rough go in Calgary throughout his career, posting a sub-.900 save percentage at the Saddledome. With playoff hopes still flickering, expect the Flames to bring playoff intensity at home, where they’ve quietly built a 20-11-5 record. Given the Ducks’ recent form and injury doubts, Calgary clearing the -1.5 puckline offers solid value at +158 — but with Anaheim occasionally playing spoiler, it earns a solid B grade rather than higher.
