Trends
Anaheim is 18-40 in their last 58 Friday games and 0-5 in their last 5 games against the Pacific. The under is 5-1-1 in Anaheim’s last 7 games. Calgary is 2-5 in their last 7 games and 0-4 in their last 4 home games. The over is 15-7-1 in Calgary’s last 23 games against the Pacific. The under is 11-5-1 in these two teams last 17 head to head meetings.
Pick
Calgary comes into this game on a two game winning streak and is playing much better than they were last week, while Anaheim has lost three of their last four games. Anaheim has only scored nine goals in their last four games, but will be facing a Calgary team that hasn’t been scoring much either. I think we are going to see more of a defensive battle in this matchup, so I like the under here.
