The Ducks (41-30-5) look to return to their winning ways as they host the Flames (31-36-8) for the final time this season.<\/p>\n
Puck drop is set for 7 p.m. PT and will air on FOX 11 and Victory+.<\/p>\n
Anaheim fell to the Blues last night in a lopsided 6-2 affair. Ryan Poehling had the team\u2019s opening goal as well as an assist while Jeffrey Viel had the other score.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe even have a decent start, and then we gave them three goals in the first period that were definitely all our faults,\u201d head coach Joel Quenneville said. \u201cThey gave us a good education on playing a real solid team game, and we didn’t play with the urgency that was needed and are capable of sustaining their game. We chased the puck a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n
As of today, the Ducks and Oilers are still tied atop the Pacific Division with 87 points, but Edmonton holds a tiebreaker over Anaheim to have the first-place edge.<\/p>\n
“Everyone knows the scenario that we’re in,” Poehling said postgame. “Last two games, I thought we played good hockey. Tonight wasn’t the case.\u201d<\/p>\n
All of the Ducks\u2019 remaining games are against Western Conference teams, making tonight\u2019s second game of a back-to-back against the Flames that much more important.<\/p>\n
Anaheim is 3-0-0 against Calgary this season with each of the games going to overtime or shootouts. This is the final meeting between the teams this regular season.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s find a way to take care of our business, and we\u2019ve got a lot of business to take care of here,\u201d Quenneville said.<\/p>\n
The Flames are on a skid of their own losing their last two games. The most recent loss came Thursday to the Golden Knights, 6-3.<\/p>\n
Statuses of Cutter Gauthier, Radko Gudas, and Pavel Mintyukov are up in the air for tonight as yesterday, Quenneville noted Gauthier would be \u201cquestionable at best\u201d vs Calgary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Ducks (41-30-5) look to return to their winning ways as they host the Flames (31-36-8) for the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":252013,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[163,165,164],"class_list":["post-252012","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anaheim","tag-anaheim","tag-anaheim-headlines","tag-anaheim-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252012","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=252012"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252012\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/252013"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=252012"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=252012"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=252012"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
