The Calgary Flames twice battled back from deficits to edge the visiting Anaheim Ducks 5-4 on Sunday and stay in the NHL playoff hunt.
Flames defenceman Michael Stone put his notoriously heavy shot to use for the game-winner. Stone credited his teammates' work in winning the offensive-zone draw to get him the puck. "I had a little bit of time to wind up," Stone said.

They've now won back-to-back down after 40 minutes following Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the host Vancouver Canucks. "It's the right time of year to do it," Stone said. "It would be better if we were in a different position, but it's good we're stringing some wins together." Calgary remained two points back of the Winnipeg Jets holding down the final wild-card spot in the NHL's Western Conference.
