Overview
- Cutter Gauthier broke a 3-3 tie with 1:34 left on Friday night to lift the Ducks to a 5-3 win at Calgary and extend his goal streak to five games.
- Gauthier has scored 10 of his 12 goals this season during the five-game burst, and his scoring has coincided with Anaheim’s fourth straight victory.
- The Ducks became the first NHL team since the 1991–92 Pittsburgh Penguins to score at least five goals in seven consecutive games, a rare and sustained offensive run.
- Defenseman Jackson LaCombe extended his points streak to nine games, the longest ever for an Anaheim defenseman, and the power play has been a major factor in the surge.
- Anaheim chased starter Lukas Dostal after the first period and Ville Husso stopped all 10 shots in relief, the Flames’ five-game home win streak was snapped, and the Ducks now head home riding clear momentum into their next matchup.
