DALLAS — Joe Pavelski scored twice and got the game-winner on the first power-play goal in the series for Dallas as the Stars beat the Calgary Flames 4-2 on Saturday night to take a 2-1 lead in their first-round Western Conference playoff series.
Pavelski had made a cross-ice pass on a rush to Vladislav Namestnikov, who then took a shot that bounced of goalie Jacob Markstrom. The puck was knocked in by the 37-year-old Pavelski, whose 64 career postseason goals are the most by an American-born skater. Joe Pavelski celebrates after scoring the game-winning goal in the Stars’ 4-2 Game 3 win over the Flames.After the teams traded shutouts and combined for only three goals in the two games at Calgary, they had another physical and brawling game. Matthew Tkachuk and John Klingberg fought only 1:22 into the game, trading blows and getting 5-minute majors as Oettinger made a glove save of Johnny Gaudreau’s wrister on Calgary’s first shot.
Just before that, Faksa was leveled in front of the net by Noah Hanifan before Markstrom was able to control the puck after a shot by Heiskanen.
