The Calgary Flames put up a strong fight but fell 3-2 to the Anaheim Ducks in a shootout. They dominated possession with a 54.48% coursey rating and similar edges in scoring chances and high danger plays. Despite the loss, it was another solid team effort coming out of the Olympic break. The Flames kept pace with the speedy ducks early on, matching their speed and creating more opportunities. Gold tending has been their backbone, keeping games close, but they keep falling short on that crucial extra goal. Offense remains the main issue, with not enough players finishing chances consistently. Standout performers included Braden Pachal on defense, who posted a 67.16% coursey and cleared the crease effectively. Nazim Kadri has been lights out lately, driving play alongside Conor Zeri. Ryan Lomburg also shown, assisting the first goal and bringing energy to the fourth line.

1:04Devin Cooley was stellar in that, allowing just one 5 on 5 goal on over 3 expected goals against. The tandem of goalie shows great mental toughness, stealing games when needed. Joel Fariby scored first off Lomburg's pass, and Yegor Sharon Govich made it to nothing with a post-inshot. With the Flames sitting at one win, one loss, one tie on this road trip, they're eyeing trades as sellers. Their young defense is evolving quickly, with prospects like Hunter Brzezztowicz ready to step up, setting up an exciting future despite the current.
