Calgary has managed just one win in their last eleven visits to Anaheim. The Flames are favored primarily because Anaheim has struggled of late having lost four of five. But, those four losses were all on the road. At home this year, the Ducks are 2-1. Calgary is allowing 4 goals per game on the road - not good for a road favorite. Home teams off a loss against a division rival, winning just 30% to 40% of their games are 34-12 in the first half of the season over the last 5 seasons. And, road favorites that allowed 2 goals or less in 4 straight games facing an opponent off 2+ games in which they allowed 3+ goals are 8-18 over the last 5 seasons. Tough for Calgary to keep up their great play and Anaheim to keep up their lousy play. One star on the home Ducks to win as an underdog.
