Calgary at Anaheim

The Calgary Flames just won their first playoff series in 11 years, getting here with defense. They are on a 7-2-1 run UNDER the total. Calgary has more than enough defense to play well against good teams, even on the road, where they are on a 4-1-1 run UNDER the total. Both clubs are well-rested, as Anaheim has been idle since completing a sweep of Winnipeg on April 22nd, while Calgary has not played since finishing off the Canucks on Saturday. Calgary is 15-5-2 UNDER the total when playing on three or more days of rest. As good as the Flames defense is, they are going to struggle against the Ducks who averaged 4 goals per game vs. the Jets. And, the bad news for Calgary is that Anaheim allowed Winnipeg just 2.2 goals per game. The Ducks are 29-17 this season vs. winning teams and since the midway point in the season, they are 31-16 overall. When these teams clash here the UNDER is 10-4 at Anaheim and this shapes up as a cautious opener with more focus on defense rather than high-flying offenses. Take the Ducks and the UNDER here.
