Tonight at 10:00 p.m. ET, the Anaheim Ducks (46-18-7, 99 points) and Calgary Flames (30-35-7, 67 points) skate against each other live from the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary for the fourth and final meeting against each other this season. The game can be live streamed here. Anaheim fans can hear all of the action on KLAA 830 while Calgary fans can do the same on Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
Anaheim has already clinched a playoff berth but will try to win the Atlantic Division and possibly even the President's Trophy by taking advantage of an easy schedule that sees the team play eight teams outside of the postseason starting tonight while Calgary has won five of its last seven games.
The Ducks have taken two of the first three meetings while the Flames won the last time out with a 7-2 victory on March 12 in Calgary.
The Ducks are looking to keep the foot on the gas and not lose sight of the way they play before the postseason begins on April 16.
"If we keep playing, it's not going to be over until Game 82," forward Corey Perry said per NHL.com. "We know as a group how good we can be. If we play the style we have to play to be successful, we're going to be all right. We just need to keep pushing forward."
Perry ranks second on the team with 72 points off of 37 goals and 35 assists while Ryan Getzlaf leads the way with 79 points off of 30 tallies and 49 helpers and Nick Bonino ranks third with 44 points while lighting the lamp 17 times and adding 27 assists.
The Flames, on the outside of a playoff berth, are looking to close out the season strong.
"We're just trying to win some hockey games," Flames coach Bob Hartley told NHL.com. "More importantly, obviously, we want to win for us, want to win for our fans, but we want to improve."
The Flames have been paced by Jiri Hudler, who has 46 points off of 15 goals and 31 assists while Mark Giordano has 12 markers and 31 helpers for 43 points and Mikael Backlund has found the back of the net 18 times while adding 20 assists for 38 points.
Karri Ramo will likely man the crease for Calgary and is 13-10-4 with a 2.54 goals-against average and a .912 save percentage while Jonas Hiller is the probable starter for Anaheim and is 28-11-6 with a 2.39 GAA and a .914 save percentage.
The Ducks and Flames play for the last time this season when the lights come up at the Scotiabank Saddledome tonight in Calgary.
