Elias Petterson NHL trade talk The Calgary Flames [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/calgary-flames/] (24-178-7) remain home for a Thursday night matchup with the Anaheim Ducks (21-23-6). Tonight is the second meeting between the two clubs, with the last one serving as a pivotal moment in the Flames' season. Not only did they pull out a 3-2 win [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/calgary-flames/game-day/3-takeaways-from-flames-thrilling-overtime-victory-over-ducks], but they lost forward Connor Zary to a lower-body injury [https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/valji-calgary-flames-zary-will-not-require-surgery-remains-without-timetable-for-return-1.2233738] after a knee-on-knee hit. The Flames have been 6-4-0 in their last ten games, losing 3-1 to the Washington Capitals on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the Ducks come into the contest 4-5-1, riding a three-win streak, most recently defeating the Seattle Kraken 6-4. BETWEEN THE PIPES Dustin Wolf is slated to start his eighth game since defeating the Ducks 3-2 on Jan. 7. As one of the NHL's best goalies on home ice, thanks to a 12-3-1 record, the rookie netminder will look to halt the Flame's two-game losing streak. In two previous starts against Anaheim, Wolf is a perfect 2-0-0 with only five goalies against, a .900 SV%, and a 2.47 GAA. The visitors have tapped John Gibson to start. Since winning his 200th game on Jan. 5, he's just 1-3-1 in the past seven games. But in the last two appearances, he's given up just two goals in 79 minutes of action with a .952 SV%. In 21 career games against the Flames, Gibson has compiled an 11-8-2 record with two shutouts, a 2.56 GAA, and .915 SV%.
