Ducks Beat the Winless Flames 4-2 in Calgary to Start a Home-and-Home Series
Ryan Poehling scored short-handed and added an assist as Anaheim won its third straight road game, while Calgary fell to 0-5.
On Saturday, the Anaheim Ducks defeated the Calgary Flames 4-2, handing Calgary its fifth consecutive loss to open the season at 0-5.
Calgary's 0-5 record marks the worst start in franchise history, with the Flames outscored 27-8 through their first five games as they rebuild around youth.
Ducks forward Ryan Poehling broke a 2-2 tie with a short-handed goal at 5:35 of the third period; goaltender Ville Husso made 27 saves while Flames goalie Dustin Wolf stopped 24 shots.
Anaheim lost Poehling and forward Cutter Gauthier to injuries during the game, with Gauthier logging only 2:18 of ice time before departing with an upper-body injury.
The Flames and Ducks meet again Tuesday in Anaheim, offering Calgary an immediate opportunity to snap its five-game losing streak before the home crowd.
