In a thrilling matchup, the Dallas Stars triumphed over the Calgary Flames with a decisive 5-2 victory in Calgary. Casey DeSmith showcased an impressive performance, stopping 46 shots, while Roope Hintz and Mikko Rantanen both contributed with a goal and an assist. The Stars, now on a four-game winning streak, also saw scores from Wyatt Johnston, Mikael Granlund, and an empty-netter from Matt Duchene. Despite a valiant effort by Nazem Kadri, who scored twice for the Flames, Calgary struggled to regain control after Rantanen’s crucial goal in the third period.

The game featured some controversial moments, including two Calgary goals being disallowed due to goaltender interference and a kicked puck. Despite their spirited play, the Flames failed to capitalize on crucial power plays, illustrating the Stars' resilience and their ability to withstand pressure. This win solidifies Dallas's strong position since January 1, where they have lost only eight games in regulation.
