Goaltending intrigue arises for Game 4 of Ducks-Flames playoff series
CALGARY — While the Calgary Flames try to get up off the mat in their playoff series against the Anaheim Ducks, goaltending questions have surfaced for both teams.
Projections, in both nets, for who will start Wednesday’s Game 4 at Scotiabank Saddledome was thrown into flux by the performances of Game 3, which Anaheim took 5-4 in overtime for a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven series.
Jonathan Bernier’s 16-save shutout over the back 33 minutes in relief of starter John Gibson raises speculation that Anaheim’s “1B” could be upgraded to “1A” for a game in which the Ducks can clinch the series.
“I’m going to pick one goalie. It’s going to be one of them,” Ducks coach Randy Carlyle quipped dryly.
