After hosting (and beating) Columbus on Tuesday night, the Calgary Flames hosted the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday evening at the Saddledome. While the Flames didn’t play a flawless 60 minutes of hockey, they scored first, never trailed in the game, and played pretty smart hockey for the most part.
They out-worked the Ducks en route to a 6-2 victory, extending their winning streak to eight consecutive games.
The rundown
The Flames started this game on the wrong foot, as Elias Lindholm was called for a double-minor for high-sticking 34 seconds in. But the Flames killed off those penalties, and then opened the scoring shortly afterwards.
