The Calgary Flames headed to Dallas on Friday night with an opportunity to advance to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. If they’re going to advance, they’ll need to do so in a seventh game. The Dallas Stars, with their backs against the wall, out-battled the Flames in Game 6 and fought their way to a 4-2 victory.
This best-of-seven series is tied at 3-3. Game 7 goes Sunday night in Calgary.
The rundown
The Flames pressed for much of the opening period, stymieing the anticipated early push for Dallas. But Jake Oettinger was superb, as usual.
