Ont he very next shift, though, the Ducks answered back. The Flames won some puck battles in their own end\u2026 but Simon Nemec swept the puck right to Ducks forward Jeff Malott. He drove the net and chipped the puck past Dustin Wolf to tie the game at 1-1.<\/p>\n
Late in the period, the Flames retook the lead. They won an offensive zone draw and Dostal made the initial stop on a shot by Morgan Frost. But the rebound went right out to Joel Hanley, who fired it past Dostal to give the Flames a 2-1 lead.<\/p>\n

#ANAvsCGY<\/a> #Flames<\/a> #FlyTogether<\/a><\/p>\n Matt Coronato drew a late power play for the Flames. On that power play, Parekh\u2019s initial shot was stopped, but Dostal lost all track of the rebound, giving Joel Farabee ages to get to the loose puck and fire it into the yawning cage to give the Flames a 3-1 lead.<\/p>\n Power play goal for Calgary!<\/p>\n Scored by Joel Farabee with 00:58 left in the 1st. Assisted by Zayne Parekh and Morgan Frost.<\/p>\n CGY: 3 | ANA: 1<\/p>\n #ANAvsCGY<\/a> #Flames<\/a> #FlyTogether<\/a><\/p>\n The Ducks changed goalies for the second, with Ville Husso tending net from then on out. The Ducks seemed much more tenacious on their forecheck, and the Flames seemed to have trouble managing the puck.<\/p>\n Midway through the second, after a Flames power play failed to generate a ton, the Ducks scored. The Ducks won a puck battle just inside the Flames\u2019 blueline, and Jackson LaCombe played the puck to the slot for Tristan Luneau. Luneau fired a wrister that beat Wolf to cut the Flames\u2019 lead to 3-2.<\/p>\n Anaheim goal!<\/p>\n Scored by Tristan Luneau with 07:58 left in the 2nd. Assisted by Jackson LaCombe and Leo Carlsson.<\/p>\n CGY: 3 | ANA: 2<\/p>\n #ANAvsCGY<\/a> #Flames<\/a> #FlyTogether<\/a><\/p>\n Early in the third period, the Flames gave the Ducks a man advantage off a Matt Coronato puck-over-glass minor penalty, and the Ducks capitalized. Beckett Sennecke had the puck below the Flames\u2019 goal line, with Jake Middleton covering Leo Carlsson in the slot. Middleton skated towards Sennecke to challenge the puck carrier, which left Carlsson open to receive a pass and fire the puck past Wolf to tie the game at 3-3.<\/p>\n Power play goal for Anaheim!<\/p>\n Scored by Leo Carlsson with 19:05 left in the 3rd. Assisted by Beckett Sennecke and Mikael Granlund.<\/p>\n CGY: 3 | ANA: 3<\/p>\n #ANAvsCGY<\/a> #Flames<\/a> #FlyTogether<\/a><\/p>\n The Ducks kept pressing, and with 1:34 left in regulation Cutter Gauthier blasted a one-timer past Wolf to give the visitors a 4-3 lead.<\/p>\n The Flames pulled Wolf for the extra attacker to hunt for the equalizer, but couldn\u2019t muster anything else. Nikita Nesterenko added an empty-netter to make it a 5-3 Ducks win.<\/p>\n Why the Flames lost<\/p>\n The Flames were really good in the opening period, and the Ducks were pretty flat. The Ducks seemed to make some good adjustments as the second period wore on, and they did a nice job using speed and skill to disrupt the Flames. The Flames had trouble with the Ducks\u2019 forecheck and didn\u2019t seem able to manage the puck very well in the later stages of the game. It really felt like someone plugged the Ducks\u2019 controller in after 20 minutes.<\/p>\n But if you go back and look at the Ducks\u2019 goals, all were off Flames turnovers or coverage lapses. The Ducks were quite good in the last two periods of the game, but the Flames made mistakes at bad times.<\/p>\n Red Warrior<\/p>\n This was another good effort from Joel Farabee, so we\u2019ll give him the nod.<\/p>\n Stick-taps to Zayne Parekh, though. He made some really nice plays with the puck.<\/p>\n Turning point<\/p>\n Shots were 23-10 after Anaheim switched goalies to open the second period. That move seemed to wake up the visitors.<\/p>\n Flames lineup<\/p>\n The Flames looked like this against Anaheim:<\/p>\n Joel Farabee \u2013 Mikael Backlund [C] \u2013 Matt Coronato Joel Hanley \u2013 Simon Nemec Dustin Wolf started in net, backed up by Devin Cooley. The healthy extras were Joel Hanley and Maxim Tsyplakov. Jonathan Huberdeau, Sam Honzek, Brennan Othmann and Kevin Bahl missed the game due to injury. Bahl was a late scratch, replaced by Hanley.<\/p>\n This and that<\/p>\n The Flames debuted their snazzy Hometown Remix jerseys for this game.<\/p>\n The goal song for this game was The Black Keys\u2019 2011 hit \u201cGold on the Ceiling.\u201d Because the Flaming C on the Hometown Remix jerseys is gold and has a sublimated grid pattern mimicking the Saddledome\u2019s ceiling.<\/p>\n Joel Hanley\u2019s goal was his first since Apr. 5, 2025. Hanley played 74 games between goals, and 33 different Flames scored at least once between Hanley goals.<\/p>\n After Burner<\/p>\n Join Mike Gould and Robert Munnich right after the game for After Burner!<\/p>\n Up next<\/p>\n The Flames (7-9-1) are back in action on Sunday night when they host the Philadelphia Flyers.<\/p>\n PRESENTED BY DFO CALGARY GEAR
