Heika's Take: Jake Oettinger's 64-save effort will never be forgotten
The 23-year-old delivers one of the finest Game 7 performances in playoff history, but Dallas' season ends with a 3-2 overtime loss to Calgary
by Mike Heika @MikeHeika / Senior Staff Writer
The Stars left everything on the ice Sunday in Calgary.
And there's something noble to that.
Dallas overcame the losses of Luke Glendening, Roope Hintz and Radek Faksa to injury, and still was able to force overtime in Game 7 against the Calgary Flames before losing 3-2 on a perfect shot by Johnny Gaudreau. It was a heartbreaking way to go out in the first round of the playoffs, but it also was a proud performance by a proud team.

Heika's Take: Stars take fight to Flames with 4-2 victory in Game 6
With its back against the wall, Dallas forces a winner-take-all Game 7 after evening the series, 3-3, on Friday
by Mike Heika @MikeHeika / Senior Staff Writer
DALLAS -- The Stars had to win Game 6 on Friday night just to keep their season going.
But in beating the Calgary Flames 4-2 in front of a sellout crowd of 18,532 at American Airlines Center, the Stars sent a message to the Flames, to the league - and maybe mostly to themselves - that they should be more than prepared for a final elimination game in this series.
