WATCH Flames vs. Ducks Stanley Cup Playoffs, NHL 2015 Top Division Teams: Listen To Free Hockey Coverage, Power Rankings

It's finally that time of year - the Stanley Cup playoffs are here!

The Calgary Flames battle it out on the ice against the Anaheim Ducks as part of the NHL 2015 playoff series on Thursday, April 30 at 10:30 p.m. EST at the Honda Center in California. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the Thursday night hockey game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Heading into the second bout of the Stanley Cup playoffs, ESPN.com reporter Scott Burnside provides an official, updated breakdown of all 30 NHL teams (power rankings):

Flames (10): "My Jack Adams ballot (if I had one) also has Bob Hartley on it. Gutsy finish for the Flames, who knocked the defending champ Kings out of the playoffs with a big win late last week, and now draw old Smythe Division foe Vancouver in the first round."

Calgery defeated the Vancouver Canucks during the first bout of playoff games.

Ducks (2): "Not much support, either, for the top team in the West. A young goaltending tandem will have to carry the freight, but on paper, the three-time Pacific champs look like they're a better version of last season's squad, finishing 5-2 in their last seven."

Anaheim proved victorious against the Winnipeg Jets in the series earlier this month.

The game will be broadcasted live on local channels NBCS, TVA, and RSN, but fans can also listen in on the radio at SportsNet 960 The Fan, WBNS, WNIO, and KLAA.
