Ducks 5, Flames 4: Daniel Winnik and Ryan Getzlaf each scored their second goal of the game in the third period and Anaheim held on to edge host Calgary.
Saku Koivu had a goal and two assists while Winnik also set up a tally for the Ducks, who have scored 12 times while winning their first two games.
Curtis Glencross recorded two power-play goals and an assist, Alex Tanguay netted a goal and set up another and Lee Stempniak also scored for the Flames, who rallied from an early 3-0 deficit before losing their second straight at home.
Winnik, who also scored twice in Anaheim's season opener, had a rebound in front carom off his skate and into the net at 4:02 of the third to snap a 3-3 tie. Getzlaf netted a much-needed insurance goal advantage with 8:45 remaining as Stempniak converted a breakaway chance with 5:56 left to get the Flames within one.
Getzlaf, Koivu and Winnik scored in the first 10:53 as Anaheim appeared to be on its way to an easy victory. But Calgary scored twice late in the first and Glencross deflected Mike Cammalleri's shot past Jonas Hiller 1:13 into the second to knot the contest.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Stempniak was denied by Hiller on a breakaway late in the second period. ... Flames G Miikka Kiprusoff made 19 saves while Hiller turned aside 21 shots for the Ducks. ... Calgary parted ways with Henrik Karlsson on Monday, trading the goaltender to the Chicago Blackhawks for a 2013 seventh-round pick. Karlsson went 1-4-2 with a 3.17 goals against average with the Flames last season.
