Flames and Stars ready to go at it in Game 1 (Matchsticks and Gasoline)

Tonight At 8:00 PM MT @ Scotiabank Saddledome. Dallas Stars 21-22 Regular Season Record: 45-30-7 - (98 Points - Finished 4th in the Central Division - First ...

First Playoff game in Calgary since April 19th, 2019 (another sad playoff flashback). Expect the C of Red to blow the roof off of the building in excitement before the game. A well rested Jacob Markstrom is known to be a problem for opposing teams and he's known to turn it up a notch in the playoffs. If the Flames wanna shutdown the Stars they have to shut him and his line mates down. If the Flames want to win this game (and the series), they need to shut down the Stars first line of Robertson-Hintz-Pavelski and then the second line of Benn-Seguin-Gurianov. Also wouldn't hurt if they shut down Miro Heiskanen (who was a major thorn in their side in the 2020 playoffs). So here are the three games and the results between the Flames and the Stars: With the Flames having home-ice advantage in this one, it'll definitely play a huge factor in who controls this series and who is the outlier.

"We put him in a couple of third periods when the game was pretty much decided and the other team stopped playing," Stars coach Rick Bowness said. "You're not a proven playoff team or anything until you make it several years in a row and then you have some success," Calgary coach Darryl Sutter said. The 23-year-old was 30-15-1 with a 2.53 goals-against average, .914 save percentage and one shutout in 48 games (46 starts). Gaudreau led the Flames and was tied for second in the NHL with a career-high 115 points in 82 games. There's bigger gap on the penalty kill, where the Flames were sixth at 83.2 percent while the Stars were 19th at 79.0 percent. So I think you just have to be aware of when they're on the ice."
