We found a way to win in the third, so happy for the effort.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>NOTES: The Flames extended their point streak against the Ducks to nine games (5-0-4). &#8230; Strome has 11 points (five goals, six assists) in 15 games with Calgary after producing nine points (three goals, six assists) in 33 games with the Ducks this season. &#8230; Sennecke leads NHL rookies with 23 goals.
