Expected score: Anaheim Ducks 4-2 Calgary Flames
Anaheim hosts Calgary in an NHL matchup that pits a team finding its rhythm against one struggling to find consistency. The Ducks sit seventh in the standings with 21 points from 19 games, while the Flames occupy 13th with 17 points. This is the third meeting between these division rivals this season, and recent form suggests a clear divide in trajectory.
Team form
Anaheim Ducks
Anaheim has won two of its last five, including a 4-2 victory over Calgary on October 11. However, the Ducks have also suffered defeats to Boston and Edmonton, conceding 5 goals in each loss. Over the five-game stretch, they've scored 3.0 per game but allowed 3.2 per game, indicating a defence that remains vulnerable. The 2-4 loss to Calgary on October 14 shows they can be caught out, yet their win over Winnipeg (5-1) demonstrates they have the offensive capability to dominate when they execute.
Calgary Flames
Calgary's recent form is deeply concerning. The Flames have won just one of their last five games—that victory coming against Anaheim on October 14—and have conceded 25 goals across those five matches, an average of 5.0 per game. Losses to Vegas (2-6) and Colorado (3-7) expose serious defensive issues. With only 2.4 goals scored per game in this span, the Flames lack both defensive solidity and offensive punch. Their sole win over Anaheim came at home; on the road, they've lost to Seattle, Vegas and Colorado by a combined 13-15.
Head-to-head
These teams have met twice already this season. Anaheim won 4-2 in Calgary on October 11, before the Flames reversed that result with a 4-2 home victory three days later. The split suggests both sides can trouble each other, but the Ducks' road form and Calgary's home advantage have shaped those outcomes.
Key factors
Anaheim's seventh-place position reflects a team that, despite inconsistency, has won more games than it has lost. Calgary's 13th-place finish and defensive vulnerability—conceding 5.0 per game recently—is the critical weakness here. The Ducks' offence has shown it can score in bunches; the Flames' defence has shown it cannot reliably stop them. Anaheim's home-ice advantage compounds this imbalance. Calgary will need to tighten its structure and limit high-danger chances, but recent evidence suggests it lacks the discipline to do so.
Prediction
The Ducks are clear favourites. They hold the better record, have shown they can beat Calgary decisively, and face an opponent in freefall defensively. Anaheim's 3.0 goals per game in recent play, combined with Calgary's alarming 5.0 goals conceded per game, creates a mismatch. The Flames' sole recent win came at home; on the road, they have been outmatched. While Calgary showed it can score (the 4-2 win proves that), stopping Anaheim at home is a different proposition entirely.
Anaheim should win this game. The Ducks' superior record, home advantage and Calgary's defensive fragility all point to a Ducks victory. Expect Anaheim to control play and convert their chances; Calgary will struggle to match their intensity and may find themselves chasing the game early.
