Anaheim opened the season with a 4-3 road win over the Vegas Golden Knights.<\/p>\n

\t\"\"\/<\/p>\n

Ducks goalie Ville Husso stopped 27 shots for the win in his first start of the season.<\/p>\n

Morgan Frost and Aydar Suniev scored for Calgary (0-5-0), which started a season with five straight losses for the first time.<\/p>\n

Matt Coronato had two assists and Dustin Wolf stopped 24 shots in the loss.<\/p>\n

The game was level at 2-2 heading into the third, as the Flames failed to convert three power-play chances before the midway point of the period. <\/p>\n

Poehling scored short-handed on Calgary\u2019s second opportunity. Nesterenko scored Anaheim\u2019s fourth goal at 17:03 in a goal-mouth scramble.<\/p>\n

Suniev whipped a sharp-angled shot off Husso\u2019s skate to tie the game 2-2 at 17:54 of the second period.<\/p>\n

Anaheim\u2019s challenge of a Flames goal for offside earlier in the period was successful.<\/p>\n

Vatrano\u2019s tip of a shot through traffic gave the Ducks at 2-1 lead with 45 seconds left in the first period. <\/p>\n

Lacombe scored seconds into an Anaheim power play when he lifted a rebound over Wolf\u2019s shoulder at 10:02. <\/p>\n

An all-alone Frost drew the Flames even at 15:03 on a feed from Coronato.<\/p>\n

TAKEAWAYS<\/p>\n

Flames: Coronato, who led the Flames in points last season, recorded his first multi-point game this season with two assists. The Flames have been outscored 27-8 in their first five games of the season.<\/p>\n

Ducks: Cutter Gauthier left the game with an upper-body injury in the first period and didn\u2019t return. . . . Lacombe and captain Mikael Granlund extended their points streak to open a season to five straight games, which tied Kevin Shattenkirk (2021) and Corey Perry (2014) for the franchise record.<\/p>\n

KEY MOMENT <\/p>\n

Calgary\u2019s turnover into the offensive zone turned into Poehling\u2019s short-handed winner early in the third period.<\/p>\n

KEY STAT<\/p>\n

The Ducks scored on their first power-play chance of the game in the first period to go 1-for-2, and held the Flames scoreless on their three chances in the third.<\/p>\n
