The Calgary Flames and Anaheim Ducks square off late Sunday night in a NHL matchup at the Honda Center.
The Calgary Flames hope for a bounce back victory after getting destroyed Saturday night by the Los Angeles Kings. The Flames are averaging 2.8 goals per game and are scoring on 9.3 percent of their power play opportunities. Michael Frolik leads Calgary with five goals, Troy Brouwer has three assists and Sean Monahan has 22 shots on goal. Defensively, the Calgary Flames are allowing 3.4 goals per game and are killing 73.1 percent of their opponents power plays. Brian Elliott has given up 25 goals on 226 shots faced and Chad Johnson has allowed 11 goals on 119 shots. The Calgary Flames have allowed three or more goals in six of their last 10 games.
The Anaheim Ducks could use some consistency after splitting their last 10 games. The Ducks are averaging 2.6 goals per game and are scoring on 24.4 percent of their power play opportunities. Corey Perry leads Anaheim with four goals, Cam Fowler has four assists and Andrew Cogliano has 24 shots on goal. Defensively, the Anaheim Ducks are allowing 2.4 goals per game and are killing 83 percent of their opponents power plays. John Gibson has given up 25 goals on 291 shots faced and Jonathan Bernier has allowed four goals on 56 shots. The Anaheim Ducks have scored three or more goals in five of their last eight games.
The Flames are 1-5 in their last 6 games playing on 0 days rest and 17-35 in their last 52 road games. The Ducks are 38-13 in their last 51 Sunday games and 2-6 in their last 8 games playing on 1 days rest. The Flames are 1-28 in the last 29 meetings in Anaheim and 15-37 in the last 52 meetings overall.
The Flames should be motivated for a bounce back performance after just getting waxed by the Kings last night. However, the Flames have just one win in the last 29 games played in Anaheim. That's a trend that doesn't even seem real. Talk about a real house of horrors. I have to side with the Ducks at home here.
