Ducks Aim for Fifth Straight Win Against Flames at Honda Center
The Anaheim Ducks will look to extend their winning streak to five games as they host the Calgary Flames at Honda Center on Tuesday night. The Ducks, coming off a convincing 4-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning, are riding a wave of momentum as they aim to close the gap in the Western Conference playoff race.
Anaheim’s recent success has been fueled by strong performances from key players, including Troy Terry, who leads the team with 14 goals this season. Goaltender John Gibson has also been a standout, making critical saves to keep the Ducks in contention. “I think we know we can play with the best of them,” said winger Frank Vatrano, who recently signed a three-year contract extension. “We’re scoring more goals, and that’s huge, but we’re also doing a great job away from the puck.”
The Flames, meanwhile, are struggling on the road, with a 5-8-4 record away from home. Despite their defensive prowess, Calgary has dropped two consecutive games, including a 5-3 loss to Utah. “It’s adversity,” said Flames center Nazem Kadri. “We have to do a better job of fighting through that.”
With both teams battling for playoff positioning, tonight’s matchup promises to be a tightly contested affair. The Ducks will look to capitalize on their home-ice advantage, while the Flames aim to turn their road fortunes around.
