. Line is off here and I smell a rat. Huge public team which more people will jump on as a late chase. I'm taking the Flames here. Goal scoring hasn't been the problem for the Calgary Flames as they rank 11th in the league in goals scored averaging 2.9 goals/game. They haven't had solid goaltending, but with Kiprusoff back that will start to change. Kiprusoff made 32 saves in a 4-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks returning from a sprained MCL. The Flames are also the most disciplined team in the league on average penalty minutes/game. They have the 8th best power play in the league while the Ducks have the 28th ranked penalty kill in the league. I look for the Flames to play a smart game here and not give the vaunted Ducks PP unit (ranked 1st in the league) many chances with the man advantage. Also, I have noticed that the Ducks Head Coach Bruce Boudreau has been switching back and forth with Fasth and Hiller avoiding juicy statistical advantages. Hiller is 4-0-0 with a 2.40 GAA at home against the Flames in his career and has won his last 5 home games. However, Fasth who has lost 2 of his last 3 starts and has never faced the Flames is in net tonight. Fasth had previously shutout Colorado and Boudreau chose to start Hiller instead. Hiller gave up the first 2 goals in that game and the Ducks had to rally back to win in OT.
