The Calgary Flames came into Dallas on Sunday evening hoping to avoid their habitual second period slump, something that’s plagued their team over their past three or four games. Well, they overcame their iffy second period start with a pair of key power play goals en route to a 5-1 victory over the Dallas Stars.
The Rundown
The Flames opened the scoring midway through the first period off a dandy little passing play. Matthew Tkachuk had the puck behind the net, passed it to Elias Lindholm in the corner, and he found Andrew Mangiapane at the front of the net for a redirect past Ben Bishop to make it 1-0 Flames.
