Playing with nothing to lose, skating purposefully and matching the Flames’ speed and skill, the Ducks keep it close before falling, 4-2, their 13th loss in 14 games.
ANAHEIM — The Ducks took the Honda Center ice with good intentions against the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night. The Ducks were no match for the Flames on paper, trailing the Pacific Division leaders by 23 points in the standings and heading for a fourth consecutive early vacation.
Calgary built a two-goal lead by the midway point of the second period thanks to two bolts of lightning that seemed to come out of nowhere and put the Flames into a position to win their second in a row after a three-game winless streak . There wasn’t much the Ducks could do about either. Then, with the second period winding down, the Ducks cut their deficit in half thanks to Trevor Zegras’ 18th goal of the season. It was nothing fancy, but a simple spin-and-shoot that eluded Calgary goalie Jacob Markstrom at 18:11 of the second, giving the Ducks a jolt of energy.
