Ducks vs Flames Prediction

The Calgary Flames are the better team and should be favored, but they’re also 5-8-4 on the road this season. The Anaheim Ducks have quietly won four of their last five games and have made NHL bettors money hand over first during this stretch. It’s not often you can make money on the Ducks, but right now, it’s hard to bet against them. The Ducks have cashed three tickets in their last five games as an underdog in the +200s. This stretch won’t last forever, and maybe it’s run its course already. I’m still going to grab the plus money with the Ducks at home, especially with the Flames struggles on the road this season.
