Well the day has finally come! Game number one of the Flames first round matchup against the Stars is upon us. It’ll be a feisty one, as the two teams are matched up evenly. It comes down to the Goaltending and Defence between these two and the Flames have the slight upper hand in both of these combined categories. If the Flames want to win this game (and the series), they need to shut down the Stars first line of Robertson-Hintz-Pavelski and then the second line of Benn-Seguin-Gurianov. Also wouldn't hurt if they shut down Miro Heiskanen (who was a major thorn in their side in the 2020 playoffs).
