Scoring An Issue For The Calgary Flames In A Loss To The Dallas Stars

from Eric Francis of Sportsnet,

When the Calgary Flames said they had one goal in mind this spring, they didn’t actually mean one measly goal.

Yet, that’s how many the league’s sixth-most prolific club has scored in its opening two playoff games against the Dallas Stars.

Combined.

This, against a rookie netminder, whose second playoff start as a professional included saves on all 29 shots that found their way through in a 2-0 win Thursday.

Two nights after the Flames opened their playoff campaign with a 1-0 win, the Stars turned the tables on a series featuring three total goals, including an empty netter.

It says a lot about how tough it was for the Flames on Thursday when the best scoring chance they had all night came in the opening minute of the third when Stars defenceman Jani Hakanpaa hit his own post with an awkward clearing attempt in tight.
