Calgary got routed in Game 1, a 6-1 loss, but this is a strong defensive team off a bad game. Calgary is sixth in the NHL in goals scored, 13th on the power play, and 16th in goals against. Calgary is 7-1-1 UNDER the total when their opponent scores five goals or more in their previous game, plus the UNDER is 24-9-2 after allowing five goals or more in their last contest. They will have to play a conservative defensive style as LW Micheal Ferland and center Jiri Hudler got banged up. At times in Game 1, Calgary was limited to three lines and other times the coach had to use just eight forwards. First-place Anaheim can play defense, too, and the UNDER is 33-16-6 in the Ducks last 55 games playing on two days rest. Play Game 2 UNDER the total.
