Thursday night’s game between the Calgary Flames and Dallas Stars was, as far as potential playoff previews go, a bit sloppy. Both teams have played a ton of hockey lately and their execution wasn’t great overall. But the Flames managed to battle and execute a little bit better than their visitors, and they were rewarded for it.
The Flames scrapped their way to a 4-2 victory over the Stars.
The rundown
It was a tight checking game early on, as two teams both playing their third game in four nights tried not to make too many mistakes.
