Flames vs Ducks prediction

Flames vs Ducks best bet: Under 6.5 (-120)

The Calgary Flames have had great success against the Anaheim Ducks, going 7-1-2 in the last 10 overall. In five of those wins, they held Anaheim to two goals or fewer. 
 
Calgary is the second-lowest scoring team in the NHL at 2.48 goals per game, but the Ducks own the second-worst goals against in the league, allowing 3.52 goals against.
 
While it might be tempting to take the Flames on the puckline, they’ve lost five straight playing on the second night of a back-to-back. 
 
Instead, I’m going to target the Under, which is 6-1-0 in Calgary games on a second consecutive night.
