Ducks hot on ice, win fourth

ANAHEIM DUCKS won their fourth straight game on Friday.

Five players scored goals for the Anaheim Ducks as they defeated the Calgary Flames 5-3 on the road on Friday night for their fourth consecutive win.

Lighting the lamp for the Orange County team were Leo Carlsson, Cutter Gauthier, Jeff Malott, Nikita Nesterenko and Tristan Luneau.

Mikael Granlund and Becket Sennecke each had two assists.

With the win, the Ducks are 9-7-1, good for 19 points and fourth place in the NHL Pacific Division.
Calgary took a 3-1 first period lead and still lead 3-2 after two periods.

But the Ducks got a power play goal from Luneau early in the third period to tie it, and Gauthier had what proved to be the game-winner at the 18:26 mark. It was his 12th goal of the season.

Nesterenko scored an empty net goal in the last minute of play for the final score.

They’re next in action on Sunday back at Honda Center, taking on the Pittsburgh Penguins (5-9-2).
After that, they’ll host the Nashville Predators (7-4-5 ) on Wednesday.

The Los Angeles Kings will be at home on Saturday, hosting the Penguins. The Kings are 5-7-2 and in seventh place in the NHL Pacific.
