Flames game tonight

After two eventful games in Texas, the Calgary Flames (2-2; 1st place, Pacific Division) return home for Game 5 of their first round series with the Dallas ...

With the Stars smarting after Game 4, expect them to attempt to besiege the Flames early in this contest – similar to what Los Angeles did in Edmonton and Tampa did in Toronto on Tuesday evening. If he can have a strong bounce-back performance, the Flames could be a really dangerous team to play against. Their best players were their best players, particularly their top line of Gaudreau, Lindholm and Tkachuk. Running with 11 forwards allowed them to throw unique forward combinations at Dallas, which seemed to confuse and confound the Stars. In short: the Flames were very good, and the better team. They stuck to five-on-five more than they have for most of the series, and they were very good at five-on-five. If not, life will get a bit more nervous for the gentlemen in red. After two eventful games in Texas, the Calgary Flames (2-2; 1st place, Pacific Division) return home for Game 5 of their first round series with the Dallas Stars (2-2; 1st wildcard seed, Western Conference)! The Flames evened the series up on Monday night with a superb 60 minutes of ice hockey.
