Puck drop is set for 6 p.m. PT and will air on KCOP-13 and Victory+.<\/p>\n
Anaheim got its third win in a row on Tuesday with a 5-3 victory over Vancouver. Highlights from the game included Mason McTavish scoring his first goal in 15 games while John Calrson had three points and Mikael Granlund scored twice.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, we weren’t behind (late),\u201d head coach Joel Quenneville said. \u201cCertainly, it was pretty hectic there in the last part of the game. We do some things to change the momentum of a game that we have it. We’re doing the right things, and then we try things that don’t lead to success, and we get them excited, and they score, and all of a sudden, it’s another ball game. We got to play the full 60, it seems like night and night out, but I thought we hung in there at the end and did a good job.\u201d<\/p>\n
The win moved the Ducks into a five-point advantage over the Oilers in the Pacific Division and gave the team their first 40-win season since 2017-2018 (44 wins).<\/p>\n
Part of the team\u2019s success this season has been due to the performance of Beckett Sennecke, who\u00a0leads all rookies with 55 points on the year and shared what it\u2019s like being part of a Ducks group that\u2019s on the come up.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom what I saw, this has been a good team since training camp,\u201d Sennecke mentioned. \u201cThe biggest thing is that we have that belief in ourselves that we\u2019re never out of a game and it shows based on our results.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Calgary is seventh in the division, the team is on a four-game winning streak. Three out of the four consecutive wins have come in overtime\/shootouts.<\/p>\n
Tonight\u2019s game marks the Ducks playing against a familiar friend turned foe in Ryan Strome for the first time since the forward was traded to Calgary at the deadline.<\/p>\n
McTavish called Strome \u201cone of the best teammates I\u2019ve had\u201d and shared how Strome was able to be a guiding force for young players like McTavish as they came into the NHL.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was unreal,\u201d McTavish said of Strome. \u201cEspecially the young guys have an even bigger appreciation for him welcoming us to the league and getting us sorted out early \u2026 He was beloved here and we really miss him.\u201d<\/p>\n
This is the third of four meetings between these clubs this regular season as the Ducks have won the first two contests. They\u2019ll meet again in Anaheim on Saturday, Apr. 4.<\/p>\n
Per Quenneville, Ville Husso will start in the net for Anaheim and Frank Vatrano will return to the lineup.<\/p>\n
The team also announced they recalled center Nathan Gaucher from the San Diego Gulls this morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Ducks (40-27-4) continue their Pacific Division road trip in Calgary to take on the Flames (30-24-7).
