Command Analysis
Calgary Flames
CanadaCurrent form
Calgary dropped to ninth place in the West and continues to fight hard for a place in the playoff zone. At the moment, the hosts have 55 points after 49 games, while Vancouver, which is higher, is ahead of the Flames by only one point. The team coached by Ryan Huskey cannot boast of a stable strong game on the road, but the Canadians often win at home. The Flames return to the province of Alberta after a victory in Minneapolis (5:4) and a defeat in Winnipeg (2:5). After returning to the province of Alberta, the Flames were unable to beat Washington (1:3), scoring only one goal during the second period of the confrontation.
The Ogni have been playing well offensively this stretch of the season, scoring 17 goals in their last six games. Calgary has scored more than twice in six of its seven games and has not left the ice without a goal in January. Jonathan Huberdeau has cemented his lead as the club leading scorer. The Canadian has 36 points (19 goals, 17 assists, and 17 assists) and is two points ahead of Nazem Kadri (17 goals, 17 assists).
Daniel Vladar and Dustin Wolf continue to battle for the hosts' number one spot. The American has been on the ice in recent games and has won three of the previous four games with the team. He has saved 91.46% of shots this season, while his Czech colleague has 88.58% of saves. They each made two shutouts in the regular season.

Anaheim Ducks
USACurrent form
The Ducks are trying to get back into the playoff contention, but they currently sit in 12th place in the Western Conference. Anaheim has only 48 points in 50 games, and the visitors are eight points behind eighth-place Vancouver. The Ducks are playing terribly on the road and have earned a modest three points in six games in their last road series. Greg Cronin men played three games at home before traveling to Washington State. They started with a loss to Florida (2:5), and then crushed Pittsburgh (5:1) and Nashville (5:2). The new road trip started with a win in Seattle (6:4). The Californians were very good on offense again.
The Ducks' offense has been inconsistent this stretch of the season. In their last 11 games, the Ducks have scored more than two goals in a game only four times, and they've only managed to make 29 shots this season. Troy Terry has returned from injury and has already notched a goal and a few assists. The American has 39 points (16+23) and is the only player in the league top 100 scoring players.
The Ducks are allowing 3.14 goals per game this season, but have been a little more reliable on the road. Lukas Dostal remains the team starting goalie and made 26 saves against the Kraken. The goalie has a .904 save percentage and has only one shutout in 30 starts. John Gibson was injured against Nashville and is unlikely to be able to help his teammates anytime soon.
Disqualifications and injuries
Brock McGinn and Tomas Suchanek will be out of action due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Anaheim is getting 8.38 penalty minutes per game.
Ducks are usually eliminated at least four times per game.
- Anaheim has a 33-41 goal-against-goal ratio in the second period.
The Ducks have been very ineffective in the second twenty minutes and rarely score goals in it.

1.90Bet 2nd period: Calgary to score
In six games, the Canadians scored in the second period.
1.40Tip and bets
Calgary remains one of the best teams in the league at home. The Canadians lost to Washington in the first meeting of the home series, but we should not forget that the capital team is leading the NHL. Anaheim is having its best stretch in the regular season and pleases fans with high scoring. However, it will be very difficult for the Ducks to win in the province of Alberta, because the Flames play well on their half of the ice and rarely allow themselves to make mistakes in defense. Ryan Husky charges recently celebrated success in California. We believe in the success of the hosts and offer a bet on their victory.
Betting Tip - Calgary win in 1.98
Bet on individual total
Calgary has been very good defensively in Canada, allowing only 2.64 goals per game at home. The Canadians rarely make mistakes with their fans and don't let opponents bother their goalies too often. Anaheim has been very good offensively in recent games, but they are unlikely to extend their scoring streak in Alberta.
We take the individual total of Anaheim under 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.78
Total Bet
Games in Canada are often low-scoring and rarely bring a lot of goals to the stands. In four out of six games in Alberta in January, the teams did not score more than five times between them. Calgary always takes control of home games and forces opponents to play their closed and sticky hockey. We believe that there will be no more than five hits in the match.
We bet on total under 5.5 goals with odds of 1.95
