The Stars are coming into this game finishing the regular season with 98 points, a 46-30-6 record overall, and they were 19-20-2 in their road games this season where they will be in this game.

Flames vs Stars Prediction
The Flames are coming into this game as a favorite with the current betting odds. The Flames have been playing much better in their recent games as they have won their last 2 and have scored 7 goals in those 2 games. Their offense started off the series very slow with 2 games of 1-0 and 2-0 in the first two games in Calgary but their offense woke up in Dallas in game 3 when they lost 4-2 but took a lot of shots and opened up the door for a 4-1 and 3-1 win in the next 2 games. The Stars strength is defense in their games and now that the Flames have started to score more, it will be hard for the Stars to keep up with them here. Even in their last game, the Stars tried to win another defensive game taking a 1-0 lead in the 2nd period and trying to defend it but the Flames woke up in the 3rd and scored 3 goals out of the intermission to take a lead. The Flames have also scored more goals in this series in their 2 games on the road than in their 3 games at home and that can only hurt the Stars here if the Flames keep up the way they have been playing. The Flames have already taken 1 game in Dallas and they will take another game here to close out the series in 6 games. The best bet here is on the Flames to win this game.
