The Calgary Flames were the most penalized team in the NHL this season with an average of 11:39 penalty time per game. The Ducks were the second-most penalized team, at 11:23 per game. On April 4, in the teams’ final regular-season matchup, their extracurricular activities added up to 106 penalty minutes in the third period after a knee-on-knee hit by Calgary defenseman Mark Giordano took Ducks defenseman Cam Fowler out of the game and, unfortunately, out of the lineup for two to six weeks.
Based on that, it’s reasonable to conclude their first-round series will not be mistaken for a tea party.
