The Calgary Flames lost four of their five regular season matchups with the Anaheim Ducks. Considering the circumstances of those games, the results aren’t exactly encouraging – the Flames twice faced the Ducks on the second half of back-to-backs and had three home dates against them.
What can we learn about the upcoming series from their five previous meetings? Is there a pattern that can emerge that might shed some light on the adjustments the Flames need to make to come out of the first round victorious?
