Anaheim erased a 3–1 deficit the last time it faced Calgary, and Jackson LaCombe helped start the comeback. Now the season series wraps up at Honda Center, where Calgary won the October meeting.
If you see the Ducks winning, compare what Anaheim can create through LaCombe at the blue line with what Calgary can get from Matt Coronato as a passer. Each prop tells you something different about how an Anaheim win could look.

Jackson LaCombe over 0.5 points
LaCombe has a point in all 10 Ducks wins this season, with exactly one in eight of them. He’s found two ways onto the scoresheet against Calgary. On Oct. 10 he scored on the power play. On Nov. 6, with the Ducks down two, he set up Tristan Luneau at even strength.
The points line gives him room to score himself or get a touch in before a teammate finishes. That second route matters when Anaheim is getting traffic in front of the net. In Saturday’s loss to the Islanders, the Ducks had one power play and LaCombe wasn’t involved in either goal. Watch whether Anaheim can get him clean touches at the point. If Calgary pressures him there and stays out of the box, Anaheim has fewer chances to build through him.
Matt Coronato under 0.5 assists
Coronato went without an assist in 10 of Calgary’s 11 losses. He’s projected to skate with Mikael Backlund and Joel Farabee, and he also played more than three power-play minutes Saturday against Los Angeles. Calgary scored three times in that win and Coronato set up none of them.
The one miss in the loss sample came against these Ducks. Coronato assisted on both Calgary goals on Oct. 10, both at even strength. The under can hold even if Coronato scores himself. The risk is a shift like the ones in Calgary, where he found two different finishers at even strength.

What to watch at Honda Center
LaCombe’s point is the closer fit if you expect Anaheim to sustain pressure and move the puck through its defense. Coronato’s assist under fits a game where the Ducks can keep his line from turning offensive-zone time into clean chances. Repeated Calgary power plays would make that second angle less appealing.
