Dallas Stars center Joe Pavelski battles for the puck with Calgary Flames right wing Brett Ritchie during first-period NHL hockey game action in Calgary, Alberta, Thursday, April 21, 2022.When the Stars left the American Airlines Center on Friday night following a 4-2 regular season-ending win over the Ducks, they did so with one scenario on their mind: playing the Avalanche in the first round.
“At some point, you’re going through Colorado,” Bowness said. “Whether it’s the first or second or third round, you’re going through Colorado. They’re a great hockey club. Right up until the very end, they were in the hunt for the President’s Trophy. Florida gets it, but they were right there. That’s a great team, we know it.
The Stars are flying to Calgary a day earlier, leaving Sunday afternoon after practice in Frisco on Sunday morning. Dallas went 1-2-0 against the Flames this season, which included a 4-2 loss in Calgary on April 21.Jake Oettinger’s first career NHL game was in the playoffs, as he mopped up during the Western Conference Final in 2020. But he’s never started a playoff game. Game 1 on Tuesday will, presumably, be his first.
Both are elite lines, and it will be interesting to see what the coaching staffs want to do to neutralize the other one. Calgary has last change in Games 1 and 2, meaning Daryl Sutter could choose to fight fire with fire and go best on best, or he could opt for Backlund on Hintz and Co. Bowness has a similar choice in Games 3 and 4, if he wants Hintz or Radek Faksa to check Lindholm.
In 2020, Tkachuk wasn’t available for the Flames. He will be now, and this time, he’s a 40-goal scorer.
