Preview
Dallas at Calgary

No matter how they want to spin it, the pressure is on the Calgary Flames heading into Sunday's Game 7 clash versus the visiting Dallas Stars that will decide their Western Conference first-round series.

The Pacific Division-champion Flames finished 13 points ahead of the Stars, who clinched a wild-card spot with one game remaining in the season. The Flames were among NHL's best offensively and defensively, while the Stars are the only playoff team to have scored fewer goals than they allowed during the season.

And then there's the way the Flames had their chance to clinch the series on the road in Game 6, as Dallas broke a tense tie late in the second period and went on to win 4-2. That forced the trip back to Calgary for Game 7.

A franchise that has reached the second round only twice in its last eight playoff appearances, the Flames will be severely scrutinized if they lose.

A franchise that has reached the second round only twice in its last eight playoff appearances, the Flames will be severely scrutinized if they lose.

"We're ready," Elias Lindholm said. "We knew coming into the series that Dallas is good team ... but we've fought all year to have home ice in a Game 7.

"It's a new day (Saturday) and a game on Sunday. ... We're in a good spot."

What Calgary's defense corps will look like for the tilt remains to be seen. Top-pairing defenseman Chris Tanev left Friday's game in the second period following an awkward fall to the ice after which a Stars player landed on him.

Flames coach Darryl Sutter brings Game 7 savvy to series finale against Stars

Most Calgary Flames players lack Game 7 experience in the NHL playoffs, but their coach doesn't.

Darryl Sutter owns the best all-time record among NHL head coaches at 7-3 in best-of-seven series' that reach a Game 7 finale.

His 11th Game 7 will come Sunday when the Flames and Dallas Stars close out their conference quarter-final at the Saddledome.

The 63-year-old from Viking, Alta., will move to the top of the list ahead of Claude Julien, Mike Keenan and Mike Babcock, who all have 10.

The Flames haven't played a Game 7 in a series since 2008.
