Dallas Stars

The Stars made it too easy for the Flames to dictate play in Game 4. Only Jake Oettinger's excellence in goal kept them in the game.

Throughout the regular season and this series, the Stars and Flames have played each other close. As long as he’s performing, the Stars have a chance. They have a best-in-three with two games in Calgary. They’ve beaten the Flames in Canada in the regular season and last week in Game 2. The 9.52 percentage was the worst on the team. It’s one thing to be a no-impact player, but it’s another to actively hurt the team. With Gurianov on the ice, the Stars were outshot 19-2. Robertson set a high bar for himself with a 41-goal season, and it hasn’t translated yet to the postseason. It’s a little reminiscent of the issues he had on the road compared with his production at home. Joe Pavelski has certainly been noticeable throughout the series, but he’s the only forward who has been a threat offensively. They got a power-play goal late in the game, but it was aided by pulling the goaltender and creating a six-on-four situation. From start to finish Monday night, the Stars were dominated by the Flames in puck possession. The first goal Calgary scored came at five-on-three, and the second goal was a converted penalty shot by Hart Trophy candidate Johnny Gaudreau. Only the third goal was a five-on-five goal, meaning Oettinger has allowed just three five-on-five goals through 240 minutes in this series.

The Dallas Stars weren't able to take a commanding series lead as the Flames would take game 4 3-1. The series is now tied as the Stars travel to Canada.

That is a must-win game for the Stars as they could be on the brink of elimination Friday night. Ramses Andersson would score on the power play to give the Flames a 1-0 lead. The Stars would need to get their offense going if they want to push the Flames to the brink of elimination.

The Calgary Flames are two wins away from the second round. But they'll want to follow stick to their game to make it happen against the Dallas Stars.

In Game 3 Lucic crashed the net and scored, but the Stars challenged for goalie interference. Realistically the Flames should be up in this series, but the rebound control by Oettinger has been phenomenal. In Games 1 and 4, the Flames won 56 and 56.2 percent of their draws. Dallas slowed the Flames down. A lot of the issues were temporarily solved in Game 4. It’s only been three years since Calgary had a “historic season” only to win one game in the playoffs.
