Stars stifle Flames in final frame to set up series finale in Calgary

The Dallas Stars doubled the Calgary Flames 4-2 on Friday to even up their playoff series and force a Game 7.

Defenceman Miro Heiskanen's goal late in the second period stood up as the game-winner for the Stars, who will try to close out the conference quarter-final on the road Sunday in Calgary.

Roope Hintz and Michael Raffl also scored for Dallas with Tyler Seguin adding an empty-net goal.

Michael Stone had a goal and an assist and Mikael Backlund scored for Calgary.

Teams tying a series 3-3 to force a Game 7 own an all-time series record of 88-96, according to NHL statisticians.

The Flames couldn't get sustained offensive zone pressure to pull Markstrom for an extra attacker until less than a minute remained in the game.

Miro, Miro, on the ice. That goal's looking mighty nice
