Lindholm has scored a goal in six straight games while increasing his point streak to eight games (seven goals, six assists).

Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Tkachuk each had a goal and two assists for the Flames, Dillon Dube added a goal and an assist and Andrew Mangiapane also scored.

Rasmus Andersson notched three assists, Sean Monahan had two assists and Jacob Markstrom made 26 saves for the Flames, who tied the third-longest win streak in franchise history.

Isac Lundestrom had a goal and an assist for his second straight multi-point game for the Ducks, who have lost three in a row (0-2-1). Sonny Milano also scored.

John Gibson stopped 16 of 20 shots for Anaheim before he was replaced midway through the second period. Anthony Stolarz made 21 saves in relief.

Calgary was short-handed for six of the first eight minutes but still emerged with the lead.

After killing a double-minor high-sticking penalty on Lindholm, the Flames took a 1-0 lead when Dube tipped in a slap shot from Andersson at 5:34 of the first period.

The Flames went on their first power play and Lindholm scored at 12:55 of the first for a 2-0 lead. Lindholm is the first Calgary player with a six-game goal streak since Gaudreau in November 2017.
