Money Line: -206.00 Anaheim (Home)
Result: Win
The Anaheim Ducks are still undefeated in the playoffs 2015 after a convincing win in Game 1 of this Western Conference semifinals series against the Calgary Flames. The visitors have won just one of their four road-games in the post-season, and I think they better prepare for yet another loss tonight.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Boys vs. Men - Anaheim annihilated Calgary in Game 1 of the series winning 6-1 after holding a 35-24 shot advantage. They won the hits 27-22 as well and dominated just about every aspect of the game from start to finish. It was easy to see why Anaheim finished the regular season top of the Western Conference while Calgary just barely managed to secure the last wild card.
2. The Ducks' Power Play - Anaheim converted on two of its four chances on the man advantage Friday and is tied with Minnesota for the most effective power play unit in this years playoffs.
3. X-Factor - Calgary has won just one of the last 34 meetings in Anaheim.
Selection: This is a play on the Anaheim Ducks (5*)
