Game Night: Flames at Ducks

WHY WATCH?

GOODBYE GETZ

Ducks captain Ryan Getzlaf has announced that he’ll retire after this season, leaving a few last opportunities for the crowd at Honda Center to show their appreciation. Getzlaf, whose climb to primetime included a standout junior stint with the Calgary Hitmen, will hang ’em up as Anaheim’s all-time leading scorer.

POINTS LEADERS

FLAMES

Johnny Gaudreau — 69 GP, 34 G, 61 A, 95 PTS, +50

SPECIAL TEAMS

FLAMES: PP — 23.6% (9th); PK — 83.4% (6th)
DUCKS: PP — 21.9% (14th); PK — 80.4% (14th)

The Ducks are playing out the string, destined to miss the playoffs for a fourth consecutive campaign. They have managed just one win in the span of almost a month, with a 1-9-3 record during that stinky stretch.

Preview
Calgary at Anaheim

The first quest for the Calgary Flames was to snap their losing skid. That mission was accomplished with Monday's 3-2 win over the surprising Los Angeles Kings.

Next up for the Pacific Division-leading Flames (41-19-9, 91 points) is to take advantage of a favorable schedule, with their four-game trip heading down the road to face the struggling Anaheim Ducks (28-31-8, 68 points) on Wednesday.

The trip, which includes stops against the San Jose Sharks and expansion Seattle Kraken -- the two clubs below the Ducks -- is an opportunity for the Flames to strengthen their hold on the division lead. Both the Kings and Edmonton Oilers are hot on their heels.

"We have a big road trip here and didn't play too, too well toward the end of our home stand," said forward Johnny Gaudreau, who scored twice in the Los Angeles victory. "To get on the road here -- it feels like it's been a while since we've been on a road trip -- it's kind of nice. You get to have ... a road-trip mentality. We started off with a big win and have another big one coming up against Anaheim."
