<p>Oettinger, 23, went 3–4 with an astounding .954 save percentage for Dallas. It took the Flames 67 shots on goal to finally win Game 7 in overtime; Markstrom picked up the win in the deciding game after making 26 saves on 28 Dallas shots.</p>
<p>Markstrom also recorded an assist in Game 7, kickstarting the play that led to @Matthew Tkachuk&#8217;s game-tying goal midway through the second period. Johnny Gaudreau and Markstrom picked up the assists on Tkachuk&#8217;s first goal of the series.</p>

<p>Markstrom allowed just 11 goals on 192 shots in the entire series against Dallas. He recorded a shutout in the Flames&#8217; 1–0 victory over the Stars in Game 1.</p>
<p>Barring something entirely unforeseen, Markstrom will be between the pipes when the Flames take on the Edmonton Oilers in Game 1 of their Western Conference semifinal playoff series on Wednesday.</p>
