It looked as though controversy was going to be the storyline of Game 3 after 18-year-old Sam Bennett appeared to score the tying goal in the third period with the Flames trailing 3-2, but it was ruled a no-goal after the review.
With Calgary on the brink of falling behind 3-0 in the series, Calder Trophy finalist Johnny Gaudreau found the back of the net with 20 seconds left in regulation to force overtime. That tally set the stage for Mikael Backlund to find the back of the net over four minutes into the extra frame to give the Flames the win.
Gaudreau leads the team with six points off of three goals and three assists while Jiri Hudler is tied with the rookie for the team lead with three tallies and has three helpers for six points. Bennett has three goals in the playoffs.
Corey Perry has paced the Ducks and the NHL this postseason with 14 points off of six goals and eight assists while captain Ryan Getzlaf has two markers and 10 helpers for 12 points and
Ryan Kesler has lit the lamp three times and added four assists for seven points.
In between the pipes, Anaheim turns to Frederik Andersen and he is 6-1 with a 1.96 goals-against average and a .927 save percentage in the playoffs.
Calgary counters with Karri Ramo in the crease and he is 2-1 this spring with a 2.78 GAA and a .896 save percentage.
The Ducks hope to put a stranglehold on the series while the Flames look to even things up when the lights come up on Game 4 live from the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary as part of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
