The Flames are also now on a 2-game win streak in OT of game 7 ('04 & '22), after losing three straight ('91, '94, '95) in OT of game 7.

The Flames have won 9 first-round series, 5 against the Canucks.
The previous two times they've won the first round in 7 games (both in OT), they've gone to the Final.
