This loss cements the Ducks&rsquo; absence from postseason play for the seventh consecutive season. The matchup began with early momentum for Calgary, as Nazem Kadri netted a goal just 16 seconds into the first period. Anaheim responded at 8:01 when Olen Zellweger capitalized on a cross-crease pass from Ryan Strome during an odd-man rush, leveling the score at 1-1.<\/p><p>The Flames regained control in the second period. Blake Coleman broke the tie with a short-handed breakaway goal at 10:25, marking his first goal in ten games. Kevin Rooney extended Calgary&rsquo;s lead to 3-1 at 15:19, snapping an 18-game personal scoring drought. Coleman further solidified the Flames&rsquo; advantage early in the third period with a power-play goal.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Taking quackshots &#128148;&#129344;<br><br>The Anaheim Ducks will be excluded from the NHL's playoffs for the seventh straight season &mdash; the third-longest active playoff appearance drought in the league. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/XbA6EyxtnF\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/XbA6EyxtnF<\/a><\/p>&mdash; PuckEmpire (@puckempire) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/puckempire\/status\/1908008377432613275?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>April 4, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Anaheim&rsquo;s goaltender, John Gibson, faced challenges throughout the game. After stopping 23 of 26 shots, Gibson exited after the second period due to a lower-body injury sustained during a collision with Flames forward Martin Pospisil. Lukas Dostal stepped in for the final period, allowing one goal on eight shots.<\/p><p>The Anaheim Ducks&rsquo; elimination from playoff contention stemmed from a combination of factors that plagued their season. As of their official exit, the team held a 33-34-8 record, positioning them sixth in the Pacific Division and trailing the final Western Conference wild-card spot by 15 points with only seven games left. <\/p><p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/nhl-playoff-clinching-scenarios-whos-in-whos-still-fighting\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>NHL Playoff Clinching Scenarios: Who&rsquo;s In &amp; Who&rsquo;s Still Fighting?<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>Their exceptional team&rsquo;s inefficiency further hindered their progress, with a power play success rate of just 16.7% (ranked 27th in the NHL) and a penalty kill operating at 76.9% (28th in the league). Additionally, injuries played a crucial role in the Ducks&rsquo; struggles, most notably the absence of forward Trevor Zegras, who missed 25 games due to an upper-body injury, limiting the team&rsquo;s offensive power.<\/p><p>General Manager Pat Verbeek and Head Coach Greg Cronin are focused on building upon the team&rsquo;s progress. Emphasizing player development and strategic acquisitions during the offseason will be crucial for the Ducks to break their playoff drought in the 2025-2026 season.<\/p><p>Image Credit: Sergei Belski-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ducks Miss Playoffs for Seventh Straight Season After 4-1 Loss to Flames<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":36803,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mux_skip_reasons":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[1482,52],"class_list":["post-36794","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nhl","tag-anaheim-ducks","tag-nhl"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
