On defense and between the pipes, Jake Oettinger delivered an outstanding performance by saving 26 out of 28 shots faced from Calgary Flames' offense. His efforts were pivotal in keeping Dallas in contention throughout regulation time and into overtime.


Flames' Efforts Fall Short


Despite their loss, Calgary Flames showed resilience and competitiveness. Mikael Backlund stood out with one goal for his team and was recognized as one of the game's stars alongside Robertson and Johnston from Dallas. The Flames goaltender managed to save 24 shots but ultimately couldn't fend off Dallas' offensive push in overtime.
