Calgary Flames
The Calgary Flames (50-21-11; 45-37 ATS) find themselves tied with Dallas after losing 2-0 in Game 2. Jacob Markstrom played well, stopping 21 of 22 shots and the Flames have been great defensively through the first two games, allowing the Stars only 37 total shots.
The line of Johnny Gaudreau, Matthew Tkachuk and Elias Lindholm produced 301 points during the regular season, but have just three through the first two games. The Flames power-play is 1-8 and they have killed off all seven power-play opportunities for the Stars. Calgary was the sixth-best team during the regular season offensively at 3.48 goals per game.
Dallas Stars
The Dallas Stars (46-30-6; 34-48 ATS) are tied in their best-of-seven series at one apiece thanks to goaltender Jake Oettinger, who stopped all 29 shots he faced. Oettinger has stopped 54 shots through the first two games and has now allowed two goals or fewer in five straight starts.
Joe Pavelski scored the game-winning goal, his first of the playoffs and 62nd playoff game of his NHL career. Pavelski led the Stars in points with 81 during the regular season. Dallas needs spectacular goaltending, as they averaged 2.80 goals per game during the regular season, 21st overall.
