Deryk Engelland isn't the most popular member of the Calgary Flames, and this certainly won't help his cause.
The veteran enforcer committed a regrettable gaffe less than a minute into Game 1 of the Flames' first-round playoff series against the Anaheim Ducks, deflecting the puck past teammate Brian Elliott and into his own net.
Ryan Getzlaf was credited with the power-play goal, which was answered by another man-advantage marker when Flames forward Sean Monahan evened the score midway through the first period.
