Ducks 5, Flames 3
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Right winger Corey Perry and left winger Rickard Rakell each scored two goals to lead the Anaheim Ducks to a 5-3 win over the Calgary Flames on Tuesday night in front of 15,688 at the Honda Center.
Perry scored the winner four minutes into the final period, and center Ryan Getzlaf tied a club record and a personal high with five assists for the Ducks (8-10-4), who extended their winning streak over the Flames (8-13-1) at home to 21 games since 2004.
The Ducks entered the third period trailing 3-2 but scored twice in slightly more than two minutes to move ahead.
Left winger Rickard Rakell scored his second goal of the game and third of the season to force a 3-3 tie. As he skated toward the edge of the crease, Rakell deflected Perry's pass from behind the net at 1:52. Perry followed with his second-power play goal of the game. Defenseman Cam Fowler began the scoring sequence by retrieving a loose puck after Flames center Josh Jooris slipped and fell in Anaheim's zone. Fowler passed to center Ryan Getzlaf at the right-wing boards, and Getzlaf freed Perry for a breakaway. Perry beat two defensemen and scored his seventh goal with a wrist shot through goalie Karri Ramo's legs.
Ducks center Ryan Kesler added an empty-net goal with one second to play.
Calgary took a 2-0 lead in the first 11 minutes against Ducks goalie Anton Khudobin, whom Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau pulled after the second goal.
Frolik scored his fifth goal of the season and the 100th of his career at 5:40. Nearly five minutes later, Bennett added his fifth goal on a similar play. Khudobin used his stick to block another wrist shot from the left circle, this time from center Mikael Backlund. But Khudobin directed the puck to Bennett, who scored at 10:39.
Out went Khudobin, who faced only five shots. In came Josh Gibson, who the Ducks recalled from their AHL club in San Diego earlier in the day.
Anaheim narrowed its deficit to 2-1 on a power-play goal at 12:07 of the first period. Nine seconds after right winger Brandon Bollig went to the penalty box for hooking, Perry scored his sixth goal by shooting the puck off and under Ramo's stick near the left post.
Left winger Rickard Rakell scored the tying goal about 4 1/2 minutes later to tie it at 2. Rakell took a pass from defenseman Sami Vatanen, eluded defenseman Dougie Hamilton's poke checking and deposited a backhand past Ramo from the left post at 16:31.
The Flames broke a 2-2 tie on Frolik's second goal of the game and sixth of the season. Left winger Sam Bennett took the puck at the right corner, skated behind the net and passed to Frolik, who fired a wrist shot over Gibson's left shoulder at 15:46 of the second period.
