Anaheim Ducks @ Calgary Flames - Round 2 Game 3 - 7:30pm MT
Sportsnet, USA Network
Right. Two games down. Aggregate score of 9-1. Shut out in Game 2 (recap/stats).
Make no ends about it, the Flames are in a sticky spot. Some of it their own doing, some of it down to just how good this Anaheim team is. It is going to be tough to turn this around. That said, the Flames have a poor track record in the Ponda, but they have already beaten the Ducks twice in Calgary this year. They realistically need to do it another three times.
A lot hinges on players standing up and being accountable. Can they do it? Of course. Will they? We will know later tonight.
Time to saddle up, boys.

Potential Starting Lineups (Subject To Change)
After making two changes to the forwards for game two, Bob Hartley has reverted back to the line combinations that got him through the first round to begin with. Karri Ramo, who was stellar in Game 2, retains hold of the starter's reigns. Raphael Diaz, who was a game time decision last time, but ultimately unable to go, is ready to return tonight, meaning Tyler Wotherspoon, as the Flames' least experienced defenceman, draws out.
Meanwhile, the Ducks remain the Ducks, continuing to frolic about in their success with their same lineup. Disgusting.
