The Calgary Flames beat the Dallas Stars by a 3-2 score in Game 1 of their first round playoff series. The win gives them a 1-0 series lead.
Here’s how the Flames managed to come out on top.
Lucic at the dot
The Flames’ third line of Milan Lucic, Dillon Dube and Sam Bennett was excellent once again.
In a weird quirk of Game 1, Lucic actually took all of the face-offs for the line. Dube and Bennett took none whatsoever. Lucic had a lot of success, going 11-for-16 at the dot and winning more draws than anybody else in the entire game.
