Flames Secure 5-3 Win Over Ducks

0:00It's April 5th. Welcome in. This is Calgary Flames News today, where your team meets AI. I'm Cory with the story. The Calgary Flames grabbed the solid 5-3 win over the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday night in Orange County. The Ducks were stumbling on a four-game skid, but the Flames built a 4-1 lead after two periods and hung tough to seal it. Morgan Frost lit it up with two goals, including an empty netter to ice things. Frost struck first in the opening frame on a rebound by Beckett Seneca, but Joel Faribi tied it quick on a breakaway feed from Motveg Reden. Second period flipped the script. Ryan Strome went solo for 2-1, Gridden tapped home a backdoor from Faribi for 3-1 and Frost Snuck-1, threw on another breakaway to make it 4-1. Shots were close there, 10-9 Ducks. Their period got dicey as Anaheim pushed back hard with Leo Carlson and Mason McTavish scoring to pull within one. Flames goalied Devon Cooley stood tall though, and they dodged late chances to hold the line.

1:02Shots favored Ducks 13-5 in that frame, but Calgary's second period surged, proved key. Flames earned it with steady net-minding and exporting Anaheim's leaks, especially dominating their middle frame. Frost hit 21 goals in the year for player of the game honors, while Gridden's tally highlighted his hot streak with Faribi. Ryan Strome notched his 500th NHL point on his breakaway snipe. Line-up tweaks included Hunter Brazusta Witch stepping in and some winger shuffles for balance. Flames sit at 32 wins, 36 losses, 8 overtime losses now, and they roll along with the Tuesday clash against the Dallas stars to keep. This road trip alive.
