Calgary has excellent balance at #16 in goals scored, #14 in goals allowed and top 12 in specialty units. All the national talk is on the team losing 28 in a row in this building, but this is the best Flames team in a while. In Game 1 on Thursday night, the Flames held a 2-1 lead midway through the second period on goals by Sean Monahan and Sam Bennett before losing 3-2. Calgary matches up well with an Anaheim squad that is #18 in goals scored, #17 on the power play. The Flames are 21-6 after scoring two or fewer goals in their previous game, plus 13-3 when their opponent allows two goals or less in the last contest. Back Calgary.
