Cutter Gauthier has 38 goals and 27 assists as Anaheim tries to snap a four-game losing streak.
On Saturday night at Honda Center, the Calgary Flames defeated the Anaheim Ducks 5-3, extending Anaheim's losing streak to five consecutive games.
Injuries to top scorer Cutter Gauthier and defensemen Radko Gudas and Pavel Mintyukov have exacerbated Anaheim's defensive struggles, the primary source of their late-season woes.
Beckett Sennecke scored his 23rd goal for the Ducks, but Calgary replied with four consecutive goals, including a breakaway by Ryan Strome against his former team.
Under first-year coach Joel Quenneville, Anaheim is fighting to end a seven-year playoff drought, though this skid now threatens their playoff candidacy after leading the Pacific Division for four weeks.
The Ducks return to Honda Center to host Nashville on Tuesday night, while the Flames travel to face Dallas the same evening.
