Hong / The Associated Press )ANAHEIM, CALIF.—Jakob Silfverberg and Ryan Getzlaf each scored a power-play goal, John Gibson made 30 saves and the Anaheim Ducks defeated the Calgary Flames 3-2 in Game 1 on Thursday night. Rickard Rakell also scored for the Ducks, handing the Flames their sixth consecutive playoff loss at Honda Center. Because of Kevin Bieksa’s alert pass the Ducks ended up with a 3-on-0 break, and Rakell cleaned up Getzlaf’s shot for his fourth career playoff goal. The Flames had to kill consecutive penalties midway through the first, including 20 seconds of a two-man advantage, and gave the Ducks six power plays in total.
