Quack! Quack! Flames vs Ducks Preview 12/29/15 (36/82)

Anaheim Ducks vs Calgary Flames, 9:00 PM ET, Scotiabank Saddledome, Calgary, Alberta

Well, for the Flames at least they are getting the Ducks in their house. Anaheim is a house of horrors for the Flames, but the Saddledome has been equally as nightmarish for the last 11 opponents who've taken the ice there. Calgary comes in on a franchise record 11 game home win streak and they can extend that to 12 by beating the last place Anaheim Ducks. Yes, you read that correctly. The major advantage the Ducks have going for them is their PK. They are tops in the league, while Calgary's PP sits dead last. The Ducks are off to a horrible start and the Flames look to keep that trend going and climb the ladder out West. Anaheim took the only meeting so far this season 5-3 back in November. Here's what the match-up looks like:

Calgary last skated on Sunday night in a thrilling come from behind, 5-3 win over the Edmonton Oilers. As it's been lately, it was the Johnny Gaudreau show. Here's the highlights:
