The Calgary Flames and Anaheim Ducks meet at the Scotiabank Saddledome this Sunday as both Pacific Division rivals look to regain their footing in the late-season standings. Calgary enters the contest on the heels of a three-game losing skid, most recently falling 3-1 to the Washington Capitals on Friday and dropping a 4-1 decision to the Pittsburgh Penguins earlier in the week.
The Flames currently sit near the bottom of the division with a 21-25-5 record, largely due to an offensive drought that has seen them rank 31st in the league in goals per game. While their defensive structure remains statistically respectable at 11th overall, a league-worst 15.3% power play has prevented them from capitalizing on tight contests, leaving them struggling to bridge the gap in the wild-card race.
The Ducks arrive in Alberta with a 27-21-3 record and significant momentum, having recently rattled off a six-game winning streak that ended with a 4-2 victory over the Seattle Kraken on Friday. This surge followed a difficult early January stretch where the team lost five straight, but they have since found a spark in their young core.
Anaheim currently occupies third place in the Pacific Division, though they possess one of the highest goals-against averages in the NHL, ranking 31st defensively. Despite these defensive lapses, the Ducks' offensive production has been robust enough to offset their high volume of goals allowed, as they continue to hover in the middle of the pack for total scoring while leading the league in shorthanded goals.

Our Calgary Flames vs Anaheim Ducks Prediction
Over the past two weeks, Anaheim has seen a standout performance from rookie Beckett Sennecke, who has produced at a point-per-game pace including multiple multi-assist outings. Cutter Gauthier also remains a focal point of the offense, netting several key goals during the recent winning streak. However, the Ducks are navigating significant injury concerns; star center Leo Carlsson is expected to be out until late February with a thigh injury, and top winger Troy Terry remains sidelined with an upper-body ailment.
For Calgary, Yegor Sharangovich and Nazem Kadri have been the primary offensive contributors in recent outings, while defenseman Morgan Frost has chipped in power-play production. The Flames' roster is currently missing veteran Blake Coleman and defenseman Jake Bean, both of whom remain on injured reserve.
The Ducks hold the upper hand despite being slight underdogs on the road. While Calgary has the home-ice advantage, their stagnant offense and three-game slide contrast sharply with Anaheim's recent six-game surge. The Ducks have proven resilient even with key injuries to Carlsson and Terry, and their ability to generate high-danger chances should test a Flames team that has struggled to keep pace in high-scoring affairs. If Calgary cannot fix its special teams' woes, Anaheim's opportunistic scoring will likely be the difference. Our prediction for Flames vs. Ducks: Under 5.5 goals.
