Anaheim vs Calgary Prediction 14 October 2026
🔊 Calgary are set for another showdown with Anaheim, a team they recently lost to on home ice. This time, the two sides face off in California, where the Ducks will be aiming to extend their winning streak to three games. The Flames, meanwhile, find themselves in a far tougher spot: five straight defeats and not a single point to show for it at the start of the season. Still, their previous encounter was a hard-fought battle.
Won outside of regulation time
📊 Last season, Anaheim took three out of four games against Calgary, with all their wins coming in overtime or shootouts. The Flames managed just one victory in response. In the current campaign, the Ducks have already extended their head-to-head lead, claiming a 4-2 road win. However, that game remained up for grabs until the third period.
Head-to-head statistics Anaheim - Calgary
A victory with unwanted consequences
Anaheim have won four of their opening five games, with their latest victory over Calgary marking their second consecutive win. The Ducks twice took the lead through goals from Jackson LaCombe and Frank Vatrano, but the hosts managed to equalize both times. The decisive moment came from Ryan Poehling, who scored shorthanded six minutes into the third period; however, he crashed into the net after his shot and had to leave the ice with assistance from his teammates. Later on, Nikita Nesterenko sealed the final score, while Ville Husso turned aside 27 shots in his season debut. However, Anaheim also lost Cutter Gauthier to an upper-body injury in the first period. Joel Quenneville stated that both players will be evaluated when the team returns home, leaving their availability for the rematch in doubt.

Five matches without picking up a single point
Calgary have endured their worst start in franchise history, opening the season with five straight losses and failing to pick up a single point. In their previous outing, the Flames twice battled back: first, Morgan Frost answered Lacombe’s opener, and then in the second period, Aidar Suneev scored his first NHL goal to level it at 2-2. Matt Coronato contributed to both goals, picking up two assists, while Dustin Wolf made 24 saves between the pipes. However, Calgary conceded twice in the third period, with the decisive goal coming while the Flames were on the power play. After the game, Ryan Huska noted that the team is making progress but still can’t put together a full 60-minute performance. Now, Calgary will look to right the ship as they head out on the road.

Prediction for the 1st period
Anaheim have scored at least once in the opening period of each of their last five NHL games. In their previous clash with Calgary, the Ducks broke the deadlock in the 11th minute, capitalizing on a power play opportunity. The hosts could look to seize the initiative early once again. The bet: Anaheim individual total over 0.5 goals in the first period.
Total Goals Prediction
In nine of Anaheim’s last ten home games, the total has exceeded 5.5 goals. Their previous clash with Calgary saw the Ducks score four times, with the Flames twice pulling level. If Calgary can once again respond to the hosts’ attacks, we’re likely in for another high-scoring contest. The recommended bet is over 5.5 goals.⭐️ Editor’s Prediction
Calgary remain the only NHL team yet to register a point, while Anaheim have won four of their last five outings. In their previous head-to-head, the Ducks managed to pull ahead in the third period despite allowing their opponents to tie the game twice. This time, Joel Quenneville’s side enjoy home-ice advantage. The Flames have shown they can compete-evident in their recent performance-but they continue to let results slip away late on. Potential absences for Poehling and Gauthier only add to the hosts’ selection headaches, so backing them to win in regulation seems risky. My pick: Anaheim to win, including overtime and shootout.
