A five-game winning streak wouldnt be anything out of the ordinary for the Anaheim Ducks. For the Calgary Flames, itd mark a season best and complete a perfect road trip. A win in Anaheim on Wednesday night, however, would be even more noteworthy. One of these Pacific Division teams will head into the All-Star break on a high note, and an Anaheim victory would extend its league-best point total entering the five-day break. A Calgary win would end more than a decade of regular-season futility at Honda Center. The Flames (25-18-3) have won five straight on the road, including the first four of their trip after Mondays 2-1 overtime win over Los Angeles. They last strung together six wins away from Calgary from Feb. 12-March 5, 2009. However, they last won a regular-season game in Anaheim on Jan. 19, 2004, going 0-14-5 since for the NHLs longest active road losing streak in a series. A 20th straight win for the Ducks (30-10-6) would match the fourth-longest home winning streak in a series in league history. Its Calgary, though, which has cleaned up against Pacific opponents this season with a 14-3-1 record, while Anaheim is 9-3-5. The Flames four-game run has come against Pacific teams as theyve allowed five goals, but its the latest in a streaky stretch. In the past 23 contests, Calgary has posted three four-game winning streaks and losing streaks of eight and three. Bob Hartleys team has won consecutive games in overtime and outscored opponents 6-1 in the third period and OT in the last four. Against the Kings, Sean Monahan scored for the third straight game to tie it in the third, and Dennis Wideman scored in the final minute of overtime for his second goal in two games. Whenever you get involved in a tie game late in the third period, it can go either way, and weve been very fortunate, Hartley told the teams official website. It seems to go our way right now. Joni Ortio has been in goal for the entire trip while Karri Ramo was on injured reserve. Hes posted a 1.23 goals-against average since being called up from Adirondack of the AHL on Jan. 8 and wasnt sent down when Ramo was activated Tuesday. Thank God Im not the one making the decisions, said Ortio, who beat Anaheim 7-2 on March 12 during his first stretch of NHL duty. Im just trying to create a positive problem here. How the team handles it remains to be seen. Ramo missed five games, while Jonas Hiller last played in a 6-5 home loss to Florida on Jan. 9. Hiller has dropped his last three appearances with a 4.16 GAA, and the former Duck has split two starts against Anaheim this season. Anaheims four-game winning streak is part of a 16-4-1 stretch since the start of December. The Ducks are also coming off a victory in Los Angeles, 3-2 in a shootout Saturday. Coming out with a win here, its huge for the team, and it brings a lot of confidence, Jakob Silfverberg said after converting the shootout winner. Hopefully we continue with this success. Frederik Andersen won his fifth straight start to improve to 15-2-1 with a 2.19 GAA in his last 18. Andersen is 2-0-0 with a 2.00 GAA at home against Calgary. Ryan Getzlaf has three goals and nine assists in his last seven home games against the Flames.

Which is to say, the top of this years draft class is not as dynamic or exciting as the 2013 class of Nate MacKinnon, Sasha Barkov, Jonathan Drouin and Seth Jones and its not as strikingly promising as the highly-anticipated 2015 slate of Connor McDavid, Jack Eichel and Noah Hanifin.

One day after Barcelonas 4-3 win at Real Madrid featured three penalties, referees again dominated a wide-open game that saw Almeria ultimately move out of the relegation zone and one point ahead of Getafe which took its place.BEREA, Ohio -- As his teammates sweated through another training camp practice, Josh Gordon was in a New York office building where his career -- and Clevelands season -- were in jeopardy. Gordon met Friday with NFL officials to appeal a possible indefinite suspension for violating the leagues substance abuse policy. Gordons attorney, Maurice Suh, and other members of his legal team were expected to argue that Gordon tested positive for marijuana because of secondhand smoke, a defence they planned to augment with witnesses. No decision on Gordon is expected for several days, and the Browns are keeping their fingers crossed the outcome will be favourable. According to ESPN Cleveland, it is believed a verdict may be reached on Monday, once commissioner Roger Goodell returns from Canton, Ohio. "Im an optimistic guy," said wide receiver Nate Burleson. "Im a glass half-full guy, so Im always hoping and expecting the best-case scenario." Until they hear from the league, the Browns are going about the business of getting ready for the upcoming season. Theyd love to have Gordon for as many games as possible. After all, hes the clubs top playmaker, one of the leagues elite receivers and an offensive threat who keeps defensive co-ordinators awake at night. To be without him for any time will drastically change Clevelands offence. Gordon has not been at training camp the past two days, and Browns coach Mike Pettine said he didnt know if the Pro Bowler will be on the field for Saturdays scrimmage in Akron. Gordons situation is one of many cases on the leagues legal itinerary. Commissioner Roger Goodell, speaking at the Hall of Fame in Canton, addressed the leagues recent decision to suspend Baltimore running back Ray Rice two games for domestic violence, a ruling met with public outrage. Goodell defended the leagues actions and said each case must be judged on its own merits. "You have to deal with the facts," he said. "We have a drug program that is collectively bargained and it has a step process. It takes four incidents before you actually reach a suspension in a drug-related case. You have to respond to facts here. You have a lot of people voicing their opinions, but what you have to understand is that this is a young man (Rice) who made a terrible mistake -- its inconsistent with what were all about. "We have deallt with it in a serious manner, and were very confident that this young man understands where he is and what he needs to do going forward.dddddddddddd" Goodell did not offer much information on Gordons case, saying a decision will be based on the information at the hearing. "Josh is going through a process right now, and Im not part of that process," Goodell said. "At some point in time I may have an opportunity to be involved, and when I am, I look forward to meeting him." Gordons list of off-the-field issues is lengthy, which may hinder his argument. He failed at least three known drug tests in college and he was suspended two games last season for a drug violation. Separate from his appeal, Gordon could still face league discipline under the leagues personal-conduct policy for his arrest last month on a DUI charge in Raleigh, North Carolina. Gordon reportedly checked himself into a rehab clinic in California following the arrest. Pettine has said the Browns will have to go with a receiver-by-committee approach if Gordon cant play. Slot receiver Andrew Hawkins is confident he and his teammates can pick up the slack. "We have a bunch of hard-working guys with chips on their shoulders who are going to come out here and bust their butts every day," he said. "And Ill take that 10 times out of 10." NOTES: Starting free safety Tashaun Gipson walked off the practice field with an apparent left knee injury. Pettine said Gipson, who started 15 games last season, was being evaluated. ... Pettine ended practice by having members of his staff catch punts. Pitting the offensive assistants against the defensive assistants, the competition energized the players, who engaged in some spirited trash talk and finger pointing before offensive intern Mike LaFleur caught the final punt, meaning the offence will wear orange jerseys Monday. "I would of lost a lot of money if you would have said wed put eight coaches out there catching knuckle-ball punts and seven of them would catch it," Pettine said. "Those guys stepped up. It was impressive." ... Several offensive players celebrated touchdowns, none more demonstratively that Anthony Armstrong, who threw the ball into the second level of the VIP hospitality tent. "It was strictly spur of the moment," he said. "Your emotions take over." ' ' 'eatherspoon left the game with a knee injury. ' ' '
