The Stars are coming into this game with 98 points, a 46-30-6 record overall, and they are 19-20-2 in their road games this regular season where they will be in this game. They have won 3 of their last 4 games and are coming into this one off of a win in their last game. Their last loss was against the Arizona Coyotes while their 3 wins in that span came against the Seattle Kraken, the Vegas Golden Knights, and the Anaheim Ducks in their last game.  They won that game at home 4-2. Joel Hanley, Thomas Harley, Vladislav Namestnikov, and Jason Robertson each scored 1 goal for them in that one. Jason Robertson and Joe Pavelski led the team in shots on net in that game with 3 each. Jake Oettinger was the starting goalie in that game and he allowed 2 goals on 21 shots with 19 saves and a .905 sv percentage. Their offense has scored 238 goals this season averaging 2.9 goals per game and their defense has allowed their opponents to score 246 goals against them allowing 3 goals per game. 

 

 

The Flames are coming into this game with 111 points, a 50-21-11 record overall, and they are 25-9-7 in their home games this regular season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this game on a 2 game losing streak. Their last win was against the Nashville Predators while their 2 losses since then have come against the Minnesota Wild and the Winnipeg Jets in their last game. They lost that game on the road 3-1. Matthew Tkachuk scored the only goal for them in that one and it was unassisted. Rasmus Andersson and Elias Lindholm led the team in shots on net in that game with 4 each. Daniel Vladar was the starting goalie in that game and he allowed 2 goals on 42 shots with 40 saves and a .952 sv percentage. Their offense has scored 248 goals this season averaging 3 goals per game and their defense has allowed their opponents to score 254 goals against them allowing 3.1 goals per game. 

 

 

The Flames are coming into this game as a big favorite with the current betting odds. They have been playing very well toward the end of the regular season and they are going up against a Stars team that just slipped into the playoffs and is lucky to even be in this game after the way they ended the regular season. The Stars lost some bad games in their last 2 weeks when they needed to win those games most and they had to get some help from some of the other teams in contention losing to better their chances. The Flames did not really need to win any games near the end as they finished with the best record in the Pacific but they were still winning a lot of their games and against some very good teams as well. The Flames have been great at home all season and they already have a lot of confidence with the season they have had and the way they have been playing recently. The Stars are going to run into a wall here and fall behind in this series early. The best bet here is on the Flames to win on the puckline.

“That’s just self-inflicted. You move on and we’ll get ready for the playoffs. ... The game was in order pretty good for the most part. It’s easy to clean up those things.” - Rick Bowness after his team’s loss against the Coyotes on Thursday night.

 

 

“We got taken to the cleaners in the faceoff circles. That cost us a couple goals. It’s the little things that are the difference — faceoffs and penalties." - Darryl Sutter after his team’s loss against the Wild on Thursday night.
