Mike Smith gets his 4th start, despite the 56 shots he took in Game 3 he is ready to go. Bill Peters swaps out Oscar Fantenberg for Juuso Valimaki (D), who gets his first career playoff start. Valimaki paired up with Rasmus Andersson.
1st Period
Tyson Barrie’s first two shots of the game find a hot Smith glove. Flames Valimaki taking a couple of shots early in the game as well, hoping for beginners luck.
Didn’t take long for roughing penalties to be given out (Lindholm and Kerfoot in the hotbox for each team), an early 4-on-4.
