Stephen Nover's Puck Line Game of the Month
(NHL) Calgary vs. Anaheim,
Point Spread: -1.50 | 150.00 Anaheim (Home)
Result: Win
The Ducks have just dominated the Flames in Anaheim beating them a mind-boggling 23 times in a row and 28 of the past 29. The Ducks defeated the Flames at home last season by five, three and two goals.
Calgary ranks second-to-last in penalty killing and third-from-the-bottom in power play percentage. The Flames average 2.6 goals per game while giving up 3.5. Their best offensive player, Johnny Gaudreau, has a minus 11 ratio and Brian Elliott may be the most disappointing goalie in the league.
The Flames carry a heavy fatigue ranking, too, playing in their fourth road game in six nights. The Flames' weariness showed in their last game, a 5-0 loss to the Kings. This is Calgary's third game in four nights.
The Ducks last played on Friday and had an easy 5-1 win against Arizona. The Ducks go on the road for three games following this matchup so they should be focused.
