Brandon Bollig started Tuesday's Game 3 by giving the Calgary Flames something they haven't had yet in their second-round series against the Anaheim Ducks: a lead.

Bollig capitalized on an odd-man rush with Mason Raymond and Markus Granlund 2:07 into the contest, firing a wrist shot from the slot past Frederik Andersen, who had not allowed a goal since midway through the third period of Game 1.

The goal was Bollig's second of the postseason after he also scored in Game 3 against the Vancouver Canucks.

Calgary's lead lasted 4:50 before Patrick Maroon responded to tie the game for Anaheim.
