The Dallas Stars western road trip has been lackluster at best. They won last night against the Vancouver Canucks but lost 7-1 to the Edmonton Oilers and 5-1 to the San Jose Sharks.
The Calgary Flames, meanwhile, had been on a 10 game winning streak before Wednesday’s game against the Boston Bruins.
So, clearly the Flames had something to prove, and the Stars had nothing to lose. Guess which one served their team better.
First period
The first five minutes of this game felt like a battle between two teams that didn’t particularly care about scoring goals, they were just happy to be out on the ice with their friends.
