Kyle Palmieri starts Ducks' Game 1 goal rush with outstanding no-look setup pass

The Anaheim Ducks' offense is normally powered by star forwards Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry, but in Game 1 of their second-round series against Calgary Thursday, winger Kyle Palmieri got things started with an outstanding no-look pass to Matt Beleskey for the first goal of the game.

The teams had just passed the halfway mark of the first period in Anaheim when Palmieri corralled a puck off the end boards and almost instantly flipped it behind him to Beleskey, who was directly in front of Calgary's net and promptly scored his first of the playoffs:

Palmieri's assist was his first post-season point this year and the ninth playoff point of his NHL career. It also began a run of four unanswered goals for Anaheim to put the Flames in a deep hole by the middle of the second period.

If the Ducks continue to get scoring from players other than their stars, this could be a short and painful series for Calgary.
