Among the Sunday NHL slate is a Pacific Division rivalry, but it’s not one that features the likes of Connor McDavid or Macklin Celebrini. Instead, it’s in Cali with the Anaheim Ducks hosting the Calgary Flames, so it’s time to make it more exciting with our best Flames vs Ducks prediction.
It’s certainly not the first time that we’ve done so this year, as this is already going to be the fourth meeting between these divisional foes! In those three prior matchups, they were each decided by multiple goals, and Anaheim won two of them. Along with being two teams in the same division that can both be up and down, they’re also both coming into this matchup having just been on the ice the night prior. Given that paired with their inconsistencies, our best Flames vs Ducks prediction isn’t going to focus on trusting either side to come out on top.
Instead, we’re just going to root for goals, which is already awesome with these teams. They are both inside the bottom 10 in terms of goals allowed per game along with the Ducks also scoring the fifth-most. It all adds up to a perfect recipe for an over.
Flames vs Ducks prediction: Over 6.5 (-130) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
