Make no mistake the Dallas Stars gave the Calgary Flames quite the match-up Thursday night. Desperately trying to cling to the last wild card spot the Stars gave Calgary a defensive effort that was executed quite well. It’s not to say that Calgary wasn’t up to par themselves, they had to outwork the Stars to get their goals. A quality test for a team as they warm up before.
CF% – 49.22%, SCF% – 41.78%, HDCF% – 35.76%, xGF% – 41.82%
It’s a Team Game – There were extensive stretches where Calgary couldn’t find their way into the Stars zone – every attempt was turned back the other way.
