The Anaheim Ducks Aim To Clinch a Playoff Spot Against the Calgary Flames

The Anaheim Ducks are playing some of the best hockey of the season and will look to catch a playoff spot as they face off against the Calgary Flames.

The Flames must admit the way they beat the Oilers Saturday might rank among the biggest regular season wins in a long time. The next one looms even larger.

The Flames saved their skins with an incredible three-goal third-period comeback en route to a stunning 5-4 shootout victory over the Oilers, giving them a win in the first of a six-part run to the end of the regular season. The Flames believe they need to win all six of those games to earn a playoff spot. Beating the 30th place Oilers, a team decimated by injury, is one thing. Now the Flames have to do the same against the Ducks.

Anaheim has won all three meetings this season, twice in overtime and once in a shootout, so it's not going to be an easy feat for the Flames.The lesson from the Edmonton game was simple: Play to win and not to lose. Despite all their veteran experience, the Flames were guilty of being too tightly wound and struggled out of the gates.

It's a lesson they must learn in a hurry. Otherwise that biggest win of the season won't add up to much. Calgary won for the ninth time via shootout this season, which is tied with Los Angeles for most in the league. It doesn't bode well should they finish tied for a spot in the top eight, since shootout wins don't count when victories are added up as a tiebreaker. Curiously, the Flames are 8-4 on the road in shootouts this season.

The Flames are 4-1 in their last five games playing on 3 or more days rest and sneak out a win over the Red-hot Ducks.
