Overview
- The Calgary Flames ended their five-game losing streak with a 4-2 road victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday night.
- Aydar Suniev had his first NHL multi-point game, scoring the game-tying goal in the second period and earning the primary assist on the go-ahead tally.
- Adam Klapka opened the scoring from the high slot and added physical impact later in the game, including a fight that helped swing momentum.
- Martin Pospisil delivered the late third-period go-ahead goal by driving wide and sliding a low shot through the five-hole while Dustin Wolf produced a strong start in net.
- The win gives Calgary early confidence in its accelerated rebuild as the club evaluates AHL call-ups and rotation decisions; Anaheim dealt with recent injuries and saw prospect Roger McQueen make his NHL debut.
