The Dallas Stars’ “FCC line” composing of Radek Faksa, Blake Comeau, and Andrew Cogliano prides itself in shutting down opposing teams’ top lines. That’s exactly what they’ve done with the Calgary Flames’ top players so far in this series.
When the [Sean] Monahan line and the Faksa line are both on the ice at 5 on 5, the Stars’ checking line has turned the game into, well, a whole lot of nothing. Dallas owns an edge in shot attempts (16-7), the teams are even in shots on goal (5-5) while the Flames own the only high-danger chance during that time.
