ANA Ducks vs CAL Flames Prediction: the Ducks should not be underestimated

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on January 8. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

ANA Ducks

Anaheim is not bad this season. In general, there are no questions at all about Greg Cronin - he squeezes literally all the maximum out of his charges. The Ducks' resources are already quite modest, so there are no miracles to be expected. With 38 points, they're in 12th position in the Western Conference standings, even qualifying for the Wild Card, although that's more of a miracle. But in the last five games Anaheim has four wins, and the day before they beat Tampa Bay 4:1.

CAL Flames

Calgary, in turn, does not justify expectations in the current campaign. Everyone expected a lot more from the Flames, but in fact things are not very good. The team is only ninth in the Western Conference standings with 43 points, two points away from the Wild Card spot. But if Ryan Husky's wards continue in the same vein, they won't see the playoffs. On the previous day, Calgary played frankly bad games against Utah (3:5) and Nashville (1:4).

Expert Betting Tips

We suggest making a choice in favor of Anaheim in the upcoming battle. The Ducks should not be underestimated, in the past five matches they have formalized four victories at once. On the spur of the moment, the Ducks are quite capable of getting one more, especially when they host Calgary, which has been feverish throughout the season. The Flames lost two games in a row the day before, showing nothing at all against Utah and Nashville. That's why we'll take a bet on Anaheim not losing in regulation time.
