The Dallas Stars won an ugly game against the Calgary Flames last night, made even uglier as they lost Ben Bishop to another injury.
Sean Shapiro points out this statistic for those who worry about a first-round sweep by a Western Conference powerhouse:
With back-to-back wins against the Flames and Winnipeg Jets, the Stars finished the season 6-1-0 against the two divisional leaders in the Western Conference.
While they wouldn’t be favored, it certainly is a good sign for the Stars when they in all likelihood meet the Jets or Flames in the first round.
