The Calgary Flames now have an opponent set for the first round of the 2022 Stanley Cup playoffs. For the second time in three seasons, the Flames will face the Dallas Stars in a best-of-seven Western Conference quarterfinal series.
The Flames’ first round date with Dallas was cemented on a wild Friday night in the NHL.
- First, Dallas beat Anaheim 4-2 after Ducks goaltenders John Gibson and Anthony Stolarz were injured and emergency backup Thomas Hodges gave up two goals to decide that game.
- Second, Nashville got out to an early 4-0 lead against Arizona, then proceeded to lose 5-4.
