Tonight at 9:30 p.m. ET, the Anaheim Ducks and Calgary Flames take the ice at the Scotiabank Saddledome for Game 3 of their Western Conference Round 2 best-of-seven series as part of the 2015 Stanley Cup playoffs.

Anaheim looks to take a 3-0 stranglehold on the series after taking care of home ice while Calgary hopes a shift to Canada will be just what it needs to notch its first victory of the set.

The Ducks toppled the Flames 6-1 in Game 1 and then followed it up by blanking their adversaries 3-0 at the Honda Center on Sunday.

Matt Beleskey netted his second tally of the playoffs in Game 2 while Hampus Lindholm and Nate Thompson (empty net) found the twine for the first time this postseason. Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf each notched two assists in the win to give them a team-best eight apiece this postseason.

After a sweep of the Winnipeg Jets and taking the first two games against Calgary, Anaheim is 6-0 to start the postseason.

The Ducks have experience going into hostile environments after overcoming the Jets at the MTS Centre twice in Winnipeg.

"We're going to go into a lively building that's going to be rocking, much like when we went to Winnipeg," Getzlaf said via NHL.com. "We've got to execute our game plan and stay calm."

Getzlaf is second on Anaheim this postseason with 10 points off of two goals and eight assists while Perry leads the NHL with 13 points off of a team-high five markers and eight helpers. Jakub Silfverberg has seven points in these playoffs while Ryan Kesler has three goals.

The Flames hope that a return to home ice will serve them well as they defeated the Vancouver Canucks in all three games played at the Saddledome in Round 1.

"We've played well at home, so we are very confident in our game when we come to the Saddledome," Flames defenseman Kris Russell told NHL.com "We've got great fans that support us well. At the same time, we've got to come out and be ready to play the right way, earn some goals, and go after them from the start. Playing in front of our fans and the atmosphere we have and the support they give us, provides us with that added boost. At the same time, they are going to be coming with their best effort, so we've got to make sure we are prepared." 

Jiri Hudler (three goals, three assists) and Calder Trophy finalist Johnny Gaudreau (two markers, four helpers) have paced the Flames with six points apiece this postseason while 18-year-old Sam Bennett has three tallies through his first eight career playoff games.

In the crease, Calgary turns to Karri Ramo and he is 1-1 thus far this postseason with a 2.73 goals-against average and a .907 save percentage.

Anaheim counters with Frederik Andersen in between the pipes and he is 6-0 with a 1.64 GAA and a .942 save percentage.

The Ducks look to jump out to a 3-0 series lead while the Flames look for their first win when the lights come up live tonight from the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary for Game 3 as part of the 2015 Stanley Cup playoffs.
