Anaheim secures a gritty road victory behind Ville Husso’s stellar goaltending, though injuries to key forwards Cutter Gauthier and Ryan Poehling cast a shadow over the win.
The Anaheim Ducks defeated the winless Calgary Flames 4-2 on Saturday night in Calgary to conclude an early-season Canadian road trip. Ryan Poehling broke a tie with a short-handed goal at 5:35 of the third period to help propel Anaheim to victory, though he was injured on the scoring play.
The contest marked the start of a home-and-home series between the Pacific Division rivals, who are scheduled to meet again on Tuesday night in Anaheim. The win followed the Ducks' 5-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets the previous night, while the Flames dropped to 0-4-0 on the season.
