|
| |  | CALGARY: LAST SEASON: 35-40-7, 77 points, finished 13th in the Western Conference and missed the playoffs.
COACH: Bob Hartley, fourth season with Calgary, 383-291-61-45 overall.
ADDED: LW Brandon Bollig, D Deryk Engelland, G Jonas Hiller, LW Mason Raymond.
LOST: D Chris Butler, LW Mike Cammalleri.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Johnny Gaudreau. Offense was a major issue for the Flames, who finished 23rd and 24th, respectively, in goals per game (2.46) and power play percentage (15.7). Gaudreau, the reigning Hobey Baker winner, recorded 80 points (36 goals and 44 assists) in 40 games with Boston College.
OUTLOOK: With the possible exception of John Tortorella, who attempted to fight his way into the Calgary dressing room during the first intermission of a Jan. 18 game in Vancouver to ostensibly express his displeasure about a line brawl following the opening faceoff, Hartley and the Flames earned praise around the NHL for their hardworking style of play. Even with the addition of Gaudreau and friends to the lineup, don't expect the Flames to change their modus operandi. But it's too much to ask the Flames to compete for a playoff berth. | | DALLAS: LAST SEASON: 40-31-11, 91 points, 5th Central Division. Made Western Conference playoffs as wild card, lost first-round playoff series in six games to top-seeded Anaheim.
COACH: Lindy Ruff, 2nd season with Stars, 40-31-11; 17th season overall in NHL, was 571-432-162 in Buffalo.
ADDED: C Jason Spezza, RW Ales Hemsky; G Anders Lindback, RW Patrick Eaves.
LOST: RW Alex Chiasson, D Aaron Rome, LW Ray Whitney.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Jamie Benn. In his first season as the Stars captain, the 25-year-old Canadian ranked eighth in the NHL with 79 points and ninth with 34 goals. Both were career highs, as was his plus-21 rating. Benn has increasingly accepted his role as a leader on a team filled with plenty of 20-something players, and is part of a dynamic scoring line with Tyler Seguin.
OUTLOOK: With the experience of a hard-fought first-round series in their first season under veteran Ruff, the Stars expect to do more than just make the playoffs this time around. That is a reasonable goal with their added scoring punch. With Benn and Seguin on the front line, the Stars will have another line with 31-year-old former Ottawa teammates Spezza and Hemsky likely together. |

*Flames-Stars Preview* ======================
By KEVIN CHROUST STATS Writer
Calgary (41-28-7) at Dallas (37-29-10), 8:30 p.m. EDT
The Calgary Flames are entering the final two weeks of the regular season with the slimmest of leads over the defending Stanley Cup champions for what could be the Pacific Division's last playoff spot, but their immediate concern is with an even more desperate club.
A chance to pad that advantage comes Monday night in Dallas against a Stars team that might not be able afford any kind of slip-up during a daunting stretch to conclude the season.
Calgary (41-28-7) won 5-2 in Nashville on Sunday to move a point ahead of Los Angeles, but the Kings have a game in hand. The Flames are making a third stop on a five-game road trip and are now in position to win consecutive games for the first time since March 11-13, going 3-3-2 since.
Lance Bouma scored twice against the Predators, and Jiri Hudler's goal and assist gives the forward nine points in six games.
"Tonight, I really believed that we played what I would say is our most complete game in a long time," coach Bob Hartley said. "Not that the others were not good, but tonight I am so proud of our four lines, our six Ds, and Jonas Hiller came up with some big saves at the right times. It's a big team win. It feels great."
The Flames have had no such success against Dallas (37-29-10). The Stars are enjoying a 5-0-1 run in the series, including a pair of wins this season. The most recent was a 4-3 shootout victory in Calgary on Wednesday behind Ales Hemsky's two goals. Tyler Seguin added two assists and has nine points on a four-game point streak against the Flames.
The Stars are 10-3-0 since a six-game skid threw a major kink into their postseason aspirations, and with 84 points they're chasing Winnipeg's 90 for the final Western Conference wild-card spot.
"(The hope) is still there," captain Jamie Benn told the team's official website. "A lot of people are saying this, but you just take it a game at a time. We are going to need some help, and we just need to keep winning these games and we'll see what happens."
If the Stars are going to make an improbable playoff push, they're really going to have to earn it. Saturday's 4-3 overtime win in Vancouver started a season-closing stretch of seven games with six likely playoff teams on the list. It followed a potentially haunting 4-0 loss in Edmonton on Friday.
"Yesterday, we were pretty good offensively but we did some big mistakes with the puck," John Klingberg said after scoring the winner. "We had a pretty good run before that. It's good we got the win here today. We need every win. It's good for us."
In goal, Kari Lehtonen figures to go for a career-best 35th win. The Dallas starter is 9-2-0 with a 2.30 goals-against average in 12 games this month. With the Stars, he's 4-0-2 with a 1.94 GAA in home games against Calgary.
If the Flames stick with Hiller, he brings a 3-1-1 record and 2.13 GAA in his last six games. Against Dallas, he's just 1-10-0 with a 3.01 GAA in his last 12.
Karri Ramo suffered the shootout loss to the Stars last week and is 0-1-1 with a 4.25 GAA in three career games in the series.
Calgary is uncertain of whether it'll have Paul Byron back after he sat against the Predators because of a lower-body injury. Byron played in Friday's 4-2 loss in Minnesota but missed the previous 17 games with an undisclosed ailment.
