Jacob Markstrom, Flames set to take on resurgent Ducks

The Calgary Flames last won three consecutive games in early December. With their playoff hopes hanging by a thread, they desperately need to reach that feat when they play host to the Anaheim Ducks on Friday.

Sitting four points out of a playoff spot with 17 games remaining entering Thursday, the Flames head into the clash well aware how dire their situation is, but also buoyed from winning games on consecutive nights.
