Goaltender Jake Oettinger made 29 saves and got his first postseason shutout in his 2nd career playoff start to lift the Dallas Stars over the Calgary Flames 2-0 on Thursday night.
— Their first-round series is now even at one game each.The best-of-seven conference quarterfinal series heads to Dallas for Saturday's Game 3 and Monday's Game 4 at American Airlines Arena. The Flames opened the series with a 1-0 win Tuesday."The only thing that matters is wins," Oettinger said."They have a great goalie on the other end and we know it's going to be tight, so the margin for error for me is very slim.
Outplayed in the opening period, Calgary generated more scoring chances for an 11-7 edge in shots in the second. The Flames were denied by Oettinger, however, and didn't get their sticks on the few rebounds the goaltender allowed. "Not a lot of room out there," Bowness said."There's not a lot of room for them or us. You've got to work for everything you get."
Johnny Gaudreau appeared to score 43 seconds in for Calagry, but his breakaway goal was waived off for offsides.
