Silfverberg’s go-ahead goal in third leads Ducks over Flames 3-1
CALGARY — Jakob Silfverberg made the right call when he went to his back-up plan.
Silfverberg notched the go-ahead goal 5:37 into the third period on Thursday as the Anaheim Ducks snapped a three-game winless skid with a 3-1 victory over the Calgary Flames.
“I was thinking pass first but then their (defence) made a pretty good play and slid and I just had to get the shot off,” said Silfverberg, who was in on a 2-on-1 with Andrew Cogliano. “I just tried to fire it quick and it happened to find a pretty good spot.”
The perfect 40-foot wrist shot beat Chad Johnson over his shoulder to make it goals in three consecutive games for Silfverberg, who is up to 11 on the season.
