They lost that game at home 4-1. Tyler Seguin scored the only goal for them in that one while Roope Hintz and Joe Pavelski both assisted.

The Flames are coming into this game finishing the regular season with 111 points, a 50-21-11 record overall, and they were 25-9-7 in their home games this regular season where they will be in this game. They have lost 2 of their last 3 games but are coming into this one off of a win in their last game which snapped a 2 game losing streak that they were on. Their 2 losses in that span were against the Stars in game 2 and game 3 while their win came against the Stars in their last game which was also game 4 of this series. They won that game on the road 4-1. Johnny Gaudreau, Rasmus Andersson, Mikael Backlund, and Elias Lindholm each scored 1 goal for them in that one. Michael Stone led the team in shots on net in that game with 8. Jacob Markström was the starting goalie in that game and he allowed 1 goal on 35 shots with 34 saves and a .971 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. The Flames tied up the series 2-2 in game 4 and they stole the home advantage back in this series with that win on the road. They have played well in all of their games of this series, with the first two games being more defensive while the last two games started to see more offense. The Flames finally broke out on offense in that game scoring 4 goals and it was coming soon with the way they were playing in their prior games. They played very well in that game in Dallas, not only winning the game 4-1 but they had complete control in it as well as they took 53 shots in that game with the Stars only getting half of that. Now the Flames are coming back home with a chance to take the lead in the series and after a great offensive performance like they had in Dallas, they will likely do the same here now that their offense has woken up. The Flames play very well on defense in their games just like the Stars do but they have the stronger offense and now that they have started to heat up, the Stars will not be able to stop them here. The best bet in this game is on the Flames to win on the puckline here and keep rolling with their offense.
