CALGARY -- Mikael Backlund scored twice and added an assist Wednesday night as the Calgary Flames jumped out to a 4-0 first period lead and cruised to a 7-2 victory over the Anaheim Ducks. Danilo Real Madrid Jersey . Up 2-0, Backlund set up Cammalleri in the slot for a power-play goal at 11:28. The quick shot past Jonas Hiller made it three goals on five shots and resulted in coach Bruce Boudreau pulling him from the game, replacing him with Frederik Andersen. The change did not change the games momentum, however. Two minutes later, Backlund scored his 15th goal of the season on a wrist shot that slipped past the rookie goaltender. Backlund added his second of the night 1:31 into the second period, this time shorthanded. Firing a wrist shot past Andersen as he broke in alone off the wing, it was the Flames second short-handed goal of the night and league-leading 11th of the season. Backlund has four of them, tying him for top spot with Bostons Brad Marchand and Tampa Bays Tyler Johnson. Mark Giordano, TJ Galiardi, Ladislav Smid and Corban Knight with his first NHL goal also scored for Calgary (26-33-7). The Flames scored more than five goals in a game for the first time this season. Andrew Cogliano with his 20th goal and Nick Bonino scored for Anaheim (43-16-7). Winless in their last four (0-2-2), the Ducks continue a three-game road trip Friday night in Colorado. Anaheim continues to lead the Pacific Division by two points over the San Jose Sharks but the Ducks squander the game in hand that they held. The Flames entered the night tied for the league-lead in one-goal games. The unusual blowout offensively for the home side was embraced by the crowd announced at 19,829, who gave the team a boisterous standing ovation after the first and second periods and once again when the game ended. Up 6-2, the crowd got one last treat when Knight, from nearby High River, scored his first NHL goal with 1:57 left in the game. There were signs early that it wasnt going to be Anaheims night. After peppering Flames rookie goalie Joni Ortio with a couple shots in the opening minute only to come away empty, Calgary made its first shot count when Giordanos slapshot hit the shaft of Kyle Palmieris stick and re-directed into the top corner on Hiller at 3:39. Bad luck for Anaheim was followed by some bad play. After Backlund was robbed on a two-on-one short-handed breakaway, the same penalty kill produced a three-on-one shortly after with Galiardi finishing off a neat set-up from Paul Byron at 7:10. Making his fifth start in a row, Ortio had 20 saves to improve to 3-3-0. In relief, Andersen finished with 16 saves. Hiller was tagged with the loss to fall to 26-10-6. Notes: Calgary LW Curtis Glencross (ankle) returned after missing 29 games. He played on a line with Galiardi and Brian McGrattan.. Anaheim D Ben Lovejoy (ill) did not play. Also scratched for the Ducks was LW Matt Beleskey.... It was only the third time this season the Flames have scored five goals in a game... The Ducks power play continues to slump. After going 0-for-2, Anaheim is 2-for-35 in its last 11 games... Calgary scored four goals in the first period for the first time since Feb. 13, 2013. Pepe Jersey .

The UFC didnt say which other Canadian cities might be considered although Hamilton, London, Moncton, Ottawa, St. Johns, Saskatoon and Windsor have all been touted as venues for possible future televised shows. Im excited to get back up in Canada, UFC Dana White told a news conference Monday in Las VegasIts the first time that the mixed martial arts promoter has announced its full schedule for the year. But its not a first for Canada.Tom Wright, managing director for UFC operations in Canada, Australia and New Zealand, has lobbied for releasing the schedule months in advance to make life easier for fans and business partners.The news is not cast in stone, however. Fighters get injured and some fight cards demand a higher profile than others as shown by the 2014 Canadian schedule.In January, the UFC announced a five-city 2014 schedule for Canada with pay-per-views shows in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver and Fight Night cards in Halifax and Quebec City.That turned out to be just three events when UFC 178 was shifted to Las Vegas from Toronto and the Montreal card was cancelled.In making the scheduling announcement in Las Vegas, with 14 elite fighters on stage, the UFC did not attach cities or fighters to the dates other than those already announced for the first two months of the year.Wright said in an interview that Toronto, Montreal and Calgary could all be pay-per-view shows. Toronto and Montreal have never hosted anything else. UFC 149 in Calgary in July 2012 was a somewhat cursed show with a string of injuries, prompting White to promise a top-quality make-up show at some point in the future.The Montreal date could be in March, with the UFC having a date reserved for that month at the Bell Centre. The UFC schedule calls for UFC 185 on March 14.Canada can expect to host a 2015 welterweight title bout featuring Rory MacDonald, a native of Kelowna, B.C., who now fights out of Montreal. White has already confirmed that MacDonald will meet the winner of the UFC 181 main event Dec. 6 between 170-pound champion Johny (Bigg Rigg) Hendricks and (Ruthless) Robbie Lawler.Asked about Calgary as a possible site for the MacDonald title bout, White said: Possibly. Could happen. Makes sense. Montreal might make even more sense for MacDonald, who has said he would like to fight in Vancouver, given his druthers. The timing and host city could come down to how the 170-pound champion emerges from the Dec. 6 fight.Wright said the remaining two Canadian cities on the calendar would likely be new host cities.The UFC has held 17 shows in Canada, with stops in Calgary, Halifax, Montreal, Quebec City, Toronto, Winnipeg and Vancouver. The UFC said roughly half the 45 events will take place in the U.S., with six in Las Vegas. There will be seven events in Brazil (including at least one pay-per-view) and two in Mexico. Karl-Johan Johnsson Sweden Jersey. There will be five to six events in Europe and the Middle East with Ireland, Germany, Sweden and the United Kingdom cited as target markets. Potential new markets are Poland, the Netherlands and Russia with a possible return to Abu Dhabi.There will be one or two events in Australia and a return to Asia for two or three events with China, Japan, the Philippines and South Korea identified as target markets.Of the non-pay-per view cards, 22 will be on TV and the other 10 on the UFCs Fight Pass web service.The televised shows will be on Fox, Fox 1 or Fox Sports 2 in the U.S. The UFC has yet to reveal details of its new TV deal in Canada — Sportsnet is the current rights-holder — but is expected to make an announcement in a week to 10 days.Featherweight contender Conor McGregor had plenty to say on stage Monday but former welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre got more than a few mentions. The 33-year-old Montreal star is currently on hiatus from the sport and has yet to announce a return, although he is back training after a knee injury suffered during his absence.As soon as hes ready to fight, hell let us know, said White, who went to Montreal recently with UFC co-owner Lorenzo Fertitta to meet St-Pierre. But Im very confident that hes coming back.St-Pierre told a different story. Asked about his fighting future, he said Im not sure in a text to The Canadian Press.The UFC boss had promised a separate major announcement Monday but said he had not been able to get it down in time.Nick Diaz, meanwhile, took a few potshots at St-Pierre after hearing that the Canadian thought he might be in trouble fighting at 185 pounds. The former Strikeforce champion, beaten by GSP at 170 pounds at UFC 158, takes on former middleweight champion Anderson Silva at UFC 183 in January.Georges didnt take the (Silva) fight ... Now I take the fight and hes running his mouth, said Diaz.---UFC 2015 ScheduleJan. 3 - UFC 182, Las Vegas, Jones vs. CormierJan. 18 - UFC Fight Night, Boston, McGregor vs. SiverJan. 24 - UFC Fight Night, Stockholm, Gustafsson vs. JohnsonJan. 31 - UFC 183, Las Vegas,Silva vs. DiazFeb. 14 - UFC Fight Night, Broomfield, Colo., Brown vs. SaffiedineFeb. 22 - UFC Fight NightFeb. 28 - UFC 184, Los Angeles, Weidman vs. BelfortMarch 7 - UFC Fight NightMarch 14 - UFC 185March 21 - UFC Fight NightApril 4 - UFC Fight NightApril 11- UFC Fight NightApril 18 - UFC Fight NightApril 25 - UFC 186May 15 - UFC Fight NightMay 16 - UFC Fight NightMay 23 - UFC 187May 30 - UFC Fight NightJune 6 - UFC Fight NightJune 13 - UFC 188June 20 - UFC Fight NightJune 27 - UFC Fight NightJuly 11 - UFC 189July 12 - UFC Fight NightJuly 15 - UFC Fight NightJuly 18 - UFC Fight NightJuly TBA - UFC Fight NightJuly 25 - UFC Fight NightAug. 1 - UFC 190Aug. 8 - UFC Fight NightAug. 23 - UFC Fight NightAug. 29 - UFC Fight NightSept. 5 - UFC 191Sept. 19 - UFC Fight NightSept. 26 - UFC Fight NightOct.
