It was another tight checking game that fed more into Dallas’ gameplan than the Flames’. The Stars have been very adept at clogging up the neutral zone with a trap and making it very difficult for Calgary to move through it. I thought the third period was once again all Flames as they pressed hard to try to score. They do need to get more traffic around Jake Oettinger, or any traffic at all, if they are going to continue to settle for point shots. The kid is on his game and pressing the crease needs to turn into an emphasis heading into Texas.
Beyond the Boxscore: Calgary Flames fail to score, drop Game 2.
