Starting netminders are David Rittich for the Calgary Flames and Ben Bishop for the Dallas Stars. The Stars are desperate for a wildcard spot with 84 points - the Avs (81pts), Yotes (81pts), and the Wild (79pts) close behind them.
Rittich finds himself out of position early, but gets bailed out by Noah Hanifin as he stops a wrap around chance. Rasmus Andersson having a good first period - from keeping the puck onside for a Czarnik shot attempt, a scoring chance himself that was saved by Bishop, and good defensive play on other the end.
