The Anaheim Ducks<\/a> had another comeback win, this time against the Calgary Flames<\/a>. After being down 2-1, they went on to secure a 3-2 victory. Veteran forward Mikael Granlund<\/a> admitted they need to find better ways to win.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think there are easier ways to find a way to win a game, but that\u2019s how it\u2019s been,\u201d said Granlund, 34, after the game, via The Sporting Tribune<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Finn pointed out that it is important to find other ways to win, especially with the playoffs in mind, which are set to start on April 18, 2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, we\u2019re gonna try to get better starts, get the first goal, and all that. We know in the playoffs that\u2019s going to be really important. So yeah, we\u2019re gonna get better at that, but at the same time, maybe finding a way. So that\u2019s all that matters right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMikael Granlund says Ducks ‘playing pretty good’ as playoff race heats up<\/p>\n

The Ducks will play against the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday at Rogers Place. Granlund did not hide his excitement about facing this big game.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a fun game, a good game. So we\u2019re all excited about that. So yeah, we\u2019re waiting for it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Finally, the center highlighted that the group is in great shape, given their positive streak \u2014 with four wins in their last four games \u2014 and that they are focused on one game at a time as they wait for the playoffs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re playing pretty good. We\u2019re in every game, you know, like we give ourselves a chance. So yeah, obviously we know there\u2019s not a lot of regular season left, and then it\u2019s gonna be the playoffs, but just gonna go out there and focus on one game at a time and try to be as good as we can.\u201d<\/p>\n

After Saturday\u2019s game against the Oilers, the Ducks return to Southern California to host the Toronto Maple Leafs<\/a> at Honda Center on Monday, March 30.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Anaheim Ducks had another comeback win, this time against the Calgary Flames.
