The set-up: The Ducks extended their home dominance over the Flames in taking a 2-0 lead in this opening round series, although both wins came by 3-2 finals. Anaheim captain Ryan Getzlaf has collected a goal and an assist in both contests so far and the Ducks have hardly been dominant. "Lucky" is how Getzlaf described his pinball, go-ahead goal that caromed off the right skate of Flames forward Lance Bouma and into the net with 3:46 left in regulation of Saturday's 3-2 win. Still, the two one-goal victories give Anaheim a 13-0-3 run over its last 16 games. Calgary now finds itself in the ominous position of trailing after two games in a best-of-seven series. "It was just a (bad) bounce. That's the way it happens sometimes," Flames forward Kris Versteeg told the Orange County Register. "I don't really believe in curses. It was just for whatever reason a bad-luck bounce. You can't blame anyone on that. It's just something that happens."

Anaheim: Right winger Patrick Eaves drew an assist on Getzlaf's game winner and admitted the Ducks got a fortunate bounce to win Saturday's game. "We'll take it and run," Eaves told CBC during a post-game interview. "You always want to win your games at home, but we know we have a big test ahead of us. They play really well in their building also. We'll be ready." The trio of Getzlaf, Rickard Rakell and Jakob Silfverberg have each scored once in the opener and then duplicated that feat in Game 2. "I'm sure that they're happy that they're scoring and we're real happy they're scoring, but there's other guys that are going to score in this series, for sure," said Anaheim head coach Randy Carlyle. Anaheim goalie John Gibson has a .952 save percentage in his last 10 games overall and has turned aside 65 of 69 shots in this series.

Calgary: Mikael Backlund followed up his career-high goal total (22) this season by scoring a short-handed goal in Game 2. Fellow forward Sean Monahan (team-leading 27 goals) has scored in back-to-back contests after being held off the scoresheet in each of the previous four and linemate Johnny Gaudreau (team-leading 43 assists and 61 points) notched an assist after a four-game point drought.

The pick: A change of scenery might be just what the doctor ordered for Calgary, which is leaving its house of horrors at the Honda Center in favor of Scotiabank Saddledome. "Obviously it's going to be fun to play at home," defenseman Dougie Hamilton said. "We can't quit. We haven't quit all season. We're going to come out hard at home and turn the series around." The Flames averaged 3.15 GPG at home this season and the play here is Over (10*s).
