Anaheim Ducks vs Calgary Flames: match prediction on 14 October 2026

Match Report: Anaheim Ducks vs Calgary Flames

The Anaheim Ducks defeated the Calgary Flames, continuing a dominant run of form that sharply contrasts with the visitors' struggles. The result highlights the divergence in fortunes between the two sides; while the Ducks have secured four wins in their last five matches, the Flames have failed to win any of their first five games of the campaign.

The Ducks entered this fixture buoyed by a strong performance just three days prior, where they defeated the Flames 4-2 away from home. Since that loss, Calgary have not tasted victory in five consecutive matches, conceding 27 goals and scoring only eight. In contrast, Anaheim have netted 18 goals in their last five games, demonstrating an attacking prowess that has seen them climb the standings to fourth place.

Historically, the Flames hold a slight edge in this rivalry with nine wins to Anaheim's seven in 16 meetings. However, the recent trend favours the visitors. Anaheim have won four of the last six encounters, including the most recent clash on 11 October. This consistency against their divisional rivals has provided a significant psychological boost compared to their earlier season struggles.

The outcome solidifies Anaheim's position in the upper half of the table, moving them further away from the bottom. The Flames, remaining winless, find themselves in a precarious position, currently sitting in eighth place with zero points. This defeat extends their losing streak and increases the pressure on the management to turn their season around before the midway point.
