The Anaheim Ducks suffered a 0-3 shutout loss to the Calgary Flames, the third such defeat this season. The Ducks faced a significant blow with Leo Carlsson suffering a lower-body injury. Flames' goaltender Jacob Markstrom achieved his 200th career NHL win and 19th career shutout with 27 saves, marking the first shutout of the season for the Flames and becoming the third Swedish-born goalie to reach this milestone. In their next game, the Ducks fell to the Seattle Kraken 2-3, with goals from Frank Vatrano on a power play and a lacrosse-style goal by Zegras. Carlsson is currently being evaluated for his sprained right MCL and is expected to be out for four to six weeks. In other team news, Andrew Mangiapane faced a demotion in the Flames lineup, while Jacob Markstrom was confirmed to start in the following game.

3-1 Kraken. Tatar walks in and beats Dostál with a backhand. #FlyTogether
Mangiapane demotion seems like a few games in the making. He’s also off PP too. Always viewed it as Sharangovich & Lindholm had chemistry as a duo, not as the trio per se. Greer has done everything asked and then some. Earned a look in a bigger role. #flames https://t.co/WNwpqompyL

#Flames winger Andrew Mangiapane getting the fourth-line treatment tonight in Los Angeles. Will be curious about his minutes at end of the night. https://t.co/iu56t3KFAs

Jacob Markstrom confirmed starting tonight in Los Angeles. #Flames
Good to see Frank Vatrano and Jakob Silfverberg back out there after both had short stints in the locker room this period. #FlyTogether
Ducks get one back. Frank Vatrano with a one-time blast gets his sixth power play goal of the season. #FlyTogether
Dostál with a big stop on Eberle to keep the deficit at two. #FlyTogether
Quick piece on Leo Carlsson's more promising timeline and the @AnaheimDucks adjusting without him over the next month of action. https://t.co/24pbhdh7eU
#SeaKraken with that cross slot pass so nice-they don’t twice. Beniers -> Dunn on the set up. 2-0 Seattle after one. https://t.co/rRAJ4wuDIh
End of 1: Ducks 0, Kraken 2. #FlyTogether
1-0 #SeaKraken. You know I’m a big fan of the cross slot pass. Bjorkstrand capitalizes on the power play. https://t.co/HohoG5yHuw
2-0 Kraken. Seattle comes down on an odd-man rush and Tatar outwaits a sliding LaCombe before dishing to a wide open Dunn. #FlyTogether
1-0 Kraken. Bjorkstrand off the bar and in. Leason had a shorthanded breakaway denied by Daccord just moments before. #FlyTogether
First big chance of the game comes for the Kraken on a 2-on-1. Eberle misses, shooting high and getting the glass. #FlyTogether
The #NHLDucks announce that Leo Carlsson will be out four to six weeks with a sprained right MCL. Positive news given how that looked.
#Flames finish off a quick two-game trip tonight in Los Angeles. 8 pm puck drop, pregame on @Sportsnet960 at 7 pm. Jacob Markstrom expected in net for Calgary. Will confirm and get any lineup changes at warmup. #GoKingsGo expected starter is Cam Talbot.
Sounds like #NHLDucks are still working on a definitive timeline to return, but initial prognosis is good news. Star rookie Leo Carlsson’s injury is not believed to be season ending. More to come.
Frank Vatrano and Adam Henrique are the only players this season to have a game with an even strength goal, a power play goal, and shorthanded goal. #NHL | #FlyTogether https://t.co/Bhp4NVe7xK
Leo Carlsson (lower-body) is getting tests done today to evaluate the severity of his injury. Won’t be an update on his status until tomorrow at the earliest. #FlyTogether https://t.co/8j3AfLvG23
This season for the @AnaheimDucks is about process and progress. But with their teenaged ray of hope Leo Carlsson suffering what looked like an ominous leg-related injury, those two things could take a hit. #FlyTogether https://t.co/wpR49GmwHY
Recap: Ducks' offense sputters in shutout loss to Flames. Leo Carlsson left the game late after suffering a lower-body injury. https://t.co/7DhyaZtH3B #FlyTogether @SportingTrib
With his 27-save shutout in Anaheim, #Flames goalie Jacob Markstrom is the third 🇸🇪 goalie to reach 200 NHL wins. Henrik Lundqvist - 459 Tommy Salo - 210 Jacob Markstrom - 200 Johan Hedberg - 161 Robin Lehner - 152
Jacob Markstrom has become just the third Swedish-born goalie to reach the 200 win plateau in NHL history #Flames https://t.co/76Sg0lvbtU
Jacob Markstrom’s 19th career shutout is also his 200th career NHL win. #Flames https://t.co/LrpOwCEKTG
That is a milestone victory for #Flames G Jacob Markstrom — his 200th at the NHL level.
Final: Ducks 0, Flames 3. Third time this season that Anaheim has been shutout this season. The injury to Leo Carlsson looms larger than anything that happened tonight, however. #FlyTogether
#Flames have their first shutout of the season, 3-0 in Anaheim. Jacob Markstrom 27 saves for the 19th of his career. Third straight win for Calgary, 3-0-2 in their last five. Also their seventh straight win at the Honda Center.
3-0 Flames. Anaheim pulls Dostál for the extra attacker with 2:15 remaining in the third. 15 seconds later, Greer strips the puck and pops it into the empty net. #FlyTogether
Weegar chops the puck out of play from his own end. That’ll be delay of game. Ducks power play coming up. #FlyTogether
