Game Recap

Ducks Stun Flames 5-3 in Calgary

NHL

Anaheim leaves Calgary with a 5-3 win, and the Flames will have to sit with a result that stings at home.

Five goals is a strong night for the visitors, and three is a respectable total for Calgary. The two-goal margin was enough to matter, and it suggests Anaheim converted more of its chances when they counted.

We won't pretend to know more than the final score tells us. This recap has no detailed box score or play-by-play, so it won't name the scorers, the lines that dominated, or the goaltenders who made the key saves. Anyone who claims to know those things from a scoreline alone is guessing, and The Stable deserves better than guesses dressed up as analysis.

What we can say is that Calgary spent much of this game playing from behind, and that's a hard place to be against a team that scores five. The Flames can't afford to let games like this slip away, and the Ducks get to head home with a win they'll be happy to take.
