LiontipsAnaheim Ducks - Calgary Flames: NHL match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Anaheim returned to the home arena after a disastrous two-match away series. In the first match, the team played away to Calgary, where they could not impose a worthy fight on the favorite, having been defeated with a score of 1:4. Goalkeeper Gibson, who had to be replaced at the beginning of the third period, showed his worst side. Next, the Ducks fought Vancouver and this time lost with a rout (2:6). The defensive line played quite reliably, but the opponent realized almost every chance he had. This time, the gate was defended by Dostal, but he was unable to cope with his main task.
On their own court, the team unexpectedly interrupted a series of failures, defeating a very powerful opponent in the person of Edmonton. He completely rehabilitated himself in front of the fans, deflecting 45 shots out of 47, which was the main reason for his success. However, the points scored don't mean much to the ducks anymore. They have long lost all chances of making the playoffs and are just finishing the regular season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Fabbri, Johnston, McGinn and Sushanek will not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injuries. Gibson and Trumpet are also in question.
Interesting betting trends
- Dax completed only 12% of the majority's attempts.
- On average, Anaheim concedes 3.16 goals per match.
Current form
At the moment, absolutely every match is of great importance for Calgary, as the team may find itself outside the playoff zone due to its unstable play in the regular season. The club occupies the ninth place in the Western Conference table and is one of the main contenders in the fight for the eighth position, which is four points behind. However, it is worth noting that there are only five matches left until the end of the regular season, so we urgently need to connect all our reserves.
Such pressure does not seem to play into the hands of the Flames, because they continue to show far from the best game, alternating wins with losses. After the unsuccessful end of the away series and the defeat from Utah (1:3), the team returned to the home arena, where they still managed to win a landslide victory over Anaheim (4:1). However, this was followed by another setback in the match with Vegas (2:3 OT). At least the lights were able to cope with the main outsider of the league in the person of San Jose, snatching Victoria from him with a difference of only one goal (3:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
Kirkland, Zary, and Manta remain in the infirmary.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Calgary concedes 2.9 goals per game.
- On average, the Flames receive 9.7 penalty minutes per match.

1.50Tip and bets
Calgary is the clear favorite in the upcoming match, for which there are certain reasons. Firstly, in the last face-to-face match, which took place quite recently, the Flames did not leave any chances to their competitor, defeating him with a score of 4:1. Secondly, the Lights are extremely motivated to succeed, as they still have a real chance of making the playoffs, unlike the Ducks. And in general, the guests are superior to their competitor in many ways, so they should win a landslide victory again.
Our betting tip is for Calgary to win in 2.13
Bet on the total
It's still not worth waiting for a large number of abandoned goals in the upcoming match. Calgary is not particularly effective and mostly achieves success due to reliable defensive play. Ducks, in turn, also cannot boast of a successful offensive game. It is for these reasons that we choose the total less as the second bet.
The betting tip is a total of less than six goals in 1.72
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Calgary's first period was not the most successful. The team is constantly experiencing difficulties at the start of the meeting, which Anaheim may well take advantage of, given the advantage of home walls.
Betting Tip - Anaheim will not lose in the first period for 1.45
