An uncharacteristically slow start for Calgary was ended – once again – off the stick of Flames star Johnny Gaudreau. Calgary could hardly enter the offensive zone to start the game and the most significant chances were all coming from the Ducks. It wasn’t until after the Toffoli goal that things started shifting more in Calgary’s favour. They were able to clutch out some depth goals tonight and because of that add another two points to their season total.
CF% – 63.06%, SCF% – 61.44%, HDCF% – 63.68%, xGF% – 55.81%
It’s a Team Game – If the Ducks did get a chance odds are it was a decent shot from the middle of the ice – they were good at getting Calgary turned around but not so great at beating Markstrom.
