Anaheim at Calgary 9:00 pm EDT Western Conference quarterfinals Series tied, 3-3
CALGARY, Alberta (Ticker) -- The Mighty Ducks of Anaheim can complete a quartet of upsets in the Western Conference quarterfinals on Wednesday when they skate with the Calgary Flames in Game Seven of their back-and-forth series.
The sixth-seeded Mighty Ducks can send the third-seeded Flames the way of Detroit, Dallas and Nashville, who were seeded first, second and fourth, respectively, before being upset in their quarterfinal series.
Calgary and Anaheim have alternated wins and losses in the first six games of the series - including five one-goal decisions - capped by the Mighty Ducks' 2-1 triumph on Monday.
Scott Niedermayer scored a power-play goal with 5:37 remaining in the third period to snap a 1-1 tie. Teemu Selanne also tallied and Ilya Bryzgalov made 22 saves in just his second career playoff start.
Stephane Yelle scored the Flames' lone goal, but the veteran center also took the penalty that led to Niedermayer's game-winning tally. Miikka Kiprusoff made 28 saves for Calgary, which became the first team to squander a lead in any game this series.
If the Flames win, they will advance to play the eighth-seeded Edmonton Oilers in the conference semifinals. The Mighty Ducks can set up a date with the seventh-seeded Colorado Avalanche with a victory.
