Gaudreau scores on penalty shot, Flames down Stars 4-1 to even up playoff series

DALLAS — After bungling a breakaway in a previous game, Johnny Gaudreau made no mistake on his penalty shot.

Gaudreau converting a third-period penalty shot spurred the Calgary Flames to Monday's 4-1 win over the Dallas Stars to even up their playoff series at two wins apiece.

Elias Lindholm and Rasmus Andersson also scored and Mikael Backlund added an empty-net goal for the Flames, which generated three unanswered goals before Dallas countered in the third period.

Flames goaltender Jacob Markstrom made 34 saves for the win in another goaltending duel with Dallas counterpart Jake Oettinger, who stopped 50 shots in the loss.
