Game Summary
It was another expected loss in Anaheim tonight as the Flames fell to the Ducks in a 5-2 shellacking. What wasn't expected was to see Brandon Bollig playing with the top line of Johnny Gaudreau and Sean Monahan. It was quite a surprise to see him standing on the ice with Mony and Johnny during the singing of the national anthems. But Hartley made it clear at the beginning of the game that there would be no rhyme or rhythm to his lines tonight.
The Flames opened the game with a power play and the defensemen made an impact early with Mark Giordano and Dougie Hamilton sending bullets at the net.
