Scoring

1st: None

3rd: CGY 6:49- Backlund (Mangiapane/Coleman), CGY 10:38- Mangiapane (Backlund/Zadorov), CGY 19:03- Lewis (Gaudreau/Lindholm)

Raise your hand if you had this game ending this way? Now take that hand and slap yourself because you’re lying. The Dallas Stars stymied the Flames at every turn tonight, but the Calgary dug deep and produced one heck of a third period to defeat the Stars 3-1 in Game 5.

For 40+ minutes Dallas played their usual heavy, slow, plodding pace and held a 1-0 lead until Calgary was able to crack Jake Oettinger in the third period and then the game opened up.
