Flames Playoff Post-Game: Gaudreau overtime heroics send Flames to second round

After six tight-checking, hard-fought hockey games, the Calgary Flames and Dallas Stars needed all seven games to settle their first round Stanley Cup playoff series. And in keeping with how this series has been, they also required extra time to decide who moved on to the second round.

Johnny Gaudreau scored an overtime game-winner with 4:51 in overtime to give the Flames a 3-2 victory and a seven game victory.

The rundown

Dallas opened the scoring 40 seconds in, on the first shot of the game. The Stars dumped the puck in. Noah Hanifin tried to play it up the boards but it hit Stars’ player’s skates, and bounced right to Tyler Seguin.
