Not even the Calgary Flames' knack for comeback victories could help them get the Anaheim monkey off their back.
The Ducks won their 19th consecutive home game against Calgary on Tuesday, hanging on for a 3-2 victory after the Flames scored twice in the third period. Jiri Hudler brought Calgary within a goal with 26 seconds remaining, but another third-period rally eluded the Flames, who scored twice with their goaltender pulled in Saturday's shootout win over the New Jersey Devils.
