T.M. Selection: Calgary Flames.

I like the Calgary Flames to win this game against the Dallas Stars on Monday. The Flames are down 2-1 in the series now but it has taken them some time to get into rhythm in the playoffs here. They won the 1st game 1-0 in a very defensive effort by both teams and they played the same way in the 2nd game too but that came back to bite them, losing 2-0 on home ice. Now the home advantage has flipped to the Stars with them taking the 3rd game in a 4-2 win but I think the Flames still looked really good in that game and they dominated it for the 1st 2 periods with their offense finally waking up. They had a bad 3rd period and ended up losing the game but I think they will bounce back here and win this game knowing they need to even up the series before going back home. They only put 2 goals in the net in that game but it was the most goals they have scored in a game of this series so far and I think they will finally break out here with a great offensive effort. They have been getting plenty of shots and scoring chances in their 1st 3 games, they just haven't been converting them into goals but I think that will change here and I expect the Flames to really clamp down knowing they can't go home down 3-1 in the series. The Stars play very defensively in their games but once the Flames start to open up their scoring more, I think it will be hard for Dallas to keep up with them. I like the Flames to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Flames.
