How the Game Played Out
The opening period gave Anaheim the early edge on the scoreboard. The Ducks scored twice to Calgary’s once, making it 2-1 after the first. That first-period margin shaped the game’s starting point: Calgary had one goal on the board, while Anaheim carried a one-goal lead into the middle frame. The period totals set up a close contest, with the Flames needing to make up ground and the Ducks positioned to protect their advantage.
Calgary responded in the second with the only goal of the period. Its 1-0 edge over those 20 minutes brought the period scoring level across the first two frames: Anaheim had won the first by one, and Calgary won the second by one. The second-period result narrowed the game’s overall gap and left the third period as the deciding stretch. Through two periods, the Flames had scored once in each, while the Ducks’ two opening-period goals remained their only scoring to that point.
Anaheim took control of the final period on the scoreboard, adding two goals while holding Calgary scoreless. That 2-0 third-period result turned the one-goal margin entering the frame into a two-goal final difference. Across the full game, the period breakdown adds up to the 4-2 finish: Anaheim’s 2-1 first, Calgary’s 1-0 second and Anaheim’s 2-0 third. The Ducks won two of the three periods, and their shutout third-period scoring edge proved decisive.
