Frank Vatrano addresses the media following the Ducks 4-1 win over the Lightning ANAHEIM, Calif. - Tonight, the Ducks will take on the Calgary Flames for the first time this season. The Ducks are coming off a 4-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/anaheim-ducks/game-day/takeaways-from-the-ducks-4-1-win-over-the-lightning] on Sunday while the Flames are coming off a 4-1 loss to the Nashville Predators [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/calgary-flames/game-day/3-takeaways-from-flames-4-1-loss-to-predators] on Saturday. It is the second and final game of a brief homestand for the Ducks. “I think we’ve played some good games recently, so we want to continue building,” Ducks captain Radko Gudas said. “We’re playing within the system, we’re trusting each other to be in certain spots. We can speed up the game by knowing where (our teammates) are on the ice. (The Flames) are a pretty good team and they’re having their moms trip too, so we don’t want to hear their moms cheering inside the arena.” “(The Flames) are fast,” Ducks head coach Greg Cronin said. “They play really hard. Their D are up and down in the play. They pinch the walls hard. They’ve got a good balance. They’re kind of similar to us where they bring a competitiveness that they rely on to win games. They put a lot of pressure on the puck.” Troy Terry did not participate in today’s morning skate with his family expecting the birth of their second child. Cronin was unsure if Terry will be available to play tonight. Ross Johnston will draw back into the lineup if Terry is unavailable.
