The Anaheim Ducks are arguably the best team that there has been in the NHL this postseason. They gritted out an overtime win against the Calgary Flames to move their record this postseason to 8-1, and let's take a closer look to how they won the game, 3-2.

It started with the first true power play of the game for the Flames in the opening period, since they had played 4-4 earlier, when Ryan Kesler was given a 4 minute double minor for high sticking. Jiri Hudler actually would get the Flames on the board first as he got it past Frederik Andersen with assists by both Dennis Wideman and Kris Russell. That was one of 9 shots on goal for the Flames as they would stay in the lead 1-0 as the period closed as Karri Ramo did an excellent job keeping the Ducks from quacking in the opening period stopping all 12 Duck shots on goal.

The second period would not go quite as well for Ramo though, as Joe Colborne took a 2 minute holding penalty. On that power play the Ducks took advantage, with Kesler actually avenging his first period penalty by lighting up the lamp and tying the game at 1. Johnny Gaudreau would score for the Flames just 56 seconds later though as the Flames would not trail in regulation. But the Flames kept taking penalties that would cost them. As Mikael Backlund had a 2 minute minor for slashing as the clock ran out in the second period.

Again the Ducks would score on a power play just 59 seconds into the third period when Matt Beleskey would tie up the game at 2 a piece. He was assisted by both Francois Beauchemin and Jakob Silfverberg. But both teams would not get any more penalties or goals in the third period as this game was destined to head to sudden death overtime.

The overtime period would not last long though, as Corey Perry scored his seventh goal of these playoffs to advance the Ducks to the Western Conference Finals. Perry was assisted by Patrick Maroon and Cam Fowler. This means the Ducks will face the Chicago Blackhawks and will have home ice against them in the Western Conference Finals. They should get some rest before then though, as the Eastern Conference playoffs has not seen either semi-finals series end as the Rangers and Capitals are going to a game 7, and the Lightning and Canadiens are heading toward a game 6 which is must win for Montreal.
