Anaheim Ducks forward Cutter Gauthier scored the tie-breaking goal late in the third period, extending his goal-scoring streak to five consecutive games, as the Ducks defeated the Calgary Flames 5-3 on Friday night in Calgary.
Gauthier's decisive strike came with the game deadlocked at 3-3, propelling Anaheim to a road victory. The 20-year-old has now scored in five straight games, showcasing his growing offensive impact for the Ducks.
Jeff Malott opened the scoring for Anaheim in the first period, while goaltender Ville Husso made key saves to preserve the lead. Calgary's Dustin Wolf was tested throughout the night but could not prevent the late surge.
The win improves the Ducks' record on their Western Canada road trip, having also faced the Edmonton Oilers the previous night.
