The Anaheim Ducks have been a train wreck for much of the season, and playing at home hasn’t helped much. The Calgary Flames have had success on the end of back to backs recently, and they still have an outside chance at sneaking into the playoffs, so this is a must win game. Give me the Flames and the PL for max betting value.
