Cutter Gauthier scored with 1:34 remaining as the Anaheim Ducks rallied to beat the Calgary Flames 5–3 on Friday, November 6, in Calgary.
Gauthier converted Mikael Granlund’s cross-ice pass for the decisive goal, extending his scoring streak to five games. He has scored 10 goals during that stretch and has 12 this season.
Anaheim entered the third period trailing 3–2. Leo Carlsson tied the game on a power play less than a minute into the period, and Nikita Nesterenko added an empty-net goal after Gauthier put the Ducks ahead.
Jeff Malott and Tristan Luneau also scored for Anaheim. Granlund and Beckett Sennecke each supplied two assists, while Carlsson finished with a goal and an assist.
The Ducks changed goaltenders after Lukas Dostal allowed three goals on 11 first-period shots. Ville Husso took over and stopped all 10 shots he faced, keeping Calgary scoreless over the final two periods.
William Stromgren, Joel Hanley and Joel Farabee scored for the Flames. Dustin Wolf made 24 saves.
Anaheim won its fourth consecutive game and improved to 9–7–1. Calgary’s five-game home winning streak ended, leaving the Flames at 7–9–1.
Both teams play again Sunday: Anaheim hosts Pittsburgh, and Calgary hosts Philadelphia.
