Ducks ride versatile offense into encounter vs. winless Flames

The Anaheim Ducks visit the Calgary Flames on Saturday night after starting the season with three wins in four games. Anaheim heads into the matchup following a decisive 5-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Friday, propelled by depth scoring from fourth-line contributors Judd Caulfield, Tim Washe, and Jeff Malott. Ville Husso is expected to start in goal for the Ducks following Lukas Dostal's start on Friday.

Calgary remains the only NHL team without a point after dropping all four games this season by a combined 23-6 margin, including a 7-3 loss to the Colorado Avalanche. Flames captain Mikael Backlund and goaltender Dustin Wolf stressed the need for better full-game execution and defensive improvements. The contest marks the start of a home-and-home set between the Pacific Division rivals, who play again Tuesday in Anaheim.
