So far this series is basically a defensive goaltender's battle.

Flames were the better team in the 2nd and 3rd and had the better scoring chances, but they didn't get enough traffic in front. I think they need to get in Oettinger's grill a bit more. Put some big bodies right in front, screen him more often, get some tip or two and get to those juicy rebounds he was giving up. The effort is certainly there. They just need to get into those dirty areas more.

They also need to figure out how to fight through Dallas' trap. They were really good at clogging everything up tonight, especially in the 1st and 2nd periods.
