Series Prediction
Flames win in 4 games (4-0)
- There is little to suggest that the Flames will have any sort of trouble with the Stars, who are the only team in the Stanley Cup Playoffs field to have a negative goal differential this season (-8).
- Calgary is stacked with scoring talent, whether its Johnny Gaudreau or Matthew Tkachuk or Elias Lindholm. Calgary boasted three 40-goal scorers and an additional 30-goal scorer in Andrew Mangiapane.
- It’s their defense, though, that doesn’t necessarily get a ton of credit — yet its one of the very best units in the league. Rasmus Andersson and Noah Hanafin have emerged as effective top defensemen while the young Oliver Kylington took a considerable step forward to provide some depth on the backend.
- It’s the goalie matchup, though, that will see Calgary cruise in this series. Jacob Markstrom is one of the best in the league and is having a career season at 32 years old.
