About the Stars |
|
The Stars are coming off a 4-3 shootout
loss at Chicago Tuesday night. The Stars scored late in
the game to get a point and pull to within three points
of the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
"It was a good effort
by our guys. We can't be disappointed," Stars coach Marc
Crawford said. "I think we can build on this one and
hopefully play real well against Calgary."
Marty Turco, who
stopped 37 of 40 shots in the game, will get his fifth
consecutive start Thursday night.
Injuries: LW Steve Ott (appendix), D Mark
Fistric (knee), LW Brian Sutherby (shoulder) and C Tom
Wandell (ACL) are out. |

About the
Flames |
|
The Flames wrapped
up a three-game road trip with a 3-2 loss in Ottawa
Tuesday. The Flames won the first game of the trip, but
dropped the last two games and finished with a 1-1-1
record in the three games.
'I’m not happy at
all tonight,” Flames coach Brent Sutter said. "That game
was there for us to get some points here tonight and we
just didn’t play a good enough game after the first 28
minutes to expect to win."
The Flames scored
five goals during the three-game trip.
Injuries: LW Nigel
Dawes (leg), RW Rene Bourque (back) and LW David Moss
(shoulder) are questionable. C Craig Conroy (knee) is
out. |
