The Calgary Flames head into this matchup struggling with an 0-5 record, while the Anaheim Mighty Ducks boast a strong 4-1 start. The Ducks are favored at home, with a moneyline of -205, meaning you’d need to bet $205 to win $100 on Anaheim outright. Calgary’s moneyline sits at +170, offering a bigger payout for an upset win.
Looking at the spread, Calgary is the underdog with a +1.5 puck line at -148. This means if you bet on Calgary with the spread, they can lose by one goal or win outright for your bet to pay off. Meanwhile, Anaheim’s -1.5 spread at +124 requires them to win by at least two goals for a payout.
The total is set at 6.5 goals, with the under slightly favored at -130 compared to the over at +110. This suggests the sportsbook expects a moderately high-scoring game but leans toward fewer goals overall.
Given Calgary’s winless start and Anaheim’s solid record, the Ducks look like the safer bet, especially on the moneyline or the -1.5 spread if you want a bigger payout and believe Anaheim can win decisively. Betting on Calgary with the +1.5 spread offers some cushion if the Flames keep it close.
If you expect a tight, low-scoring game, the under 6.5 goals might be worth a look. Overall, Anaheim’s early success and home advantage give them the edge in this matchup.
