NHL-Flames edge Ducks in overtime (Reuters)

May 5 (The Sports Xchange) - Center Mikael Backlund scored the overtime winner on a delayed penalty call as the Calgary Flames beat the Anaheim Ducks 4-3 in Game Three of their Western Conference playoff series on Tuesday.

The Ducks still lead the series 2-1, with Game Four set for Friday at the Scotiabank Saddledome.

Working from the point, Backlund sent a long shot through traffic that missed everybody and hit twine for the winner.

Left winger Brandon Bollig scored his second of the post-season, while center Joe Colborne scored his first in regulation for the Flames before rookie left winger Johnny Gaudreau's late equalizer to force overtime.
