The Calgary Flames defeated the Anaheim Ducks 5-3 on Saturday night, extending the Ducks' current losing streak to five games. Ryan Strome marked a career milestone by scoring his 500th point against his former team. Morgan Frost was instrumental for the Flames, netting two goals, including a late empty-netter.
The Ducks found themselves trailing 4-1 but mounted a comeback in the third period with goals from Leo Carlsson and Mason McTavish. However, their efforts fell short as Calgary repelled Anaheim's late power play and Frost secured the victory.
Injuries have hampered the Ducks, with key players like Cutter Gauthier, Radko Gudas, and Pavel Mintyukov sidelined. Defenseman Tyson Hinds made his NHL debut for Anaheim. The Ducks' defensive struggles have been a significant factor in their recent woes.
Anaheim remains tied with Edmonton in points but is under pressure as Vegas gains ground. The Ducks are fighting to end a seven-year playoff drought under first-year coach Joel Quenneville.
