No one in their wildest dreams pegged the Calgary Flames (29-23-10) to finish their epic six-game road trip against some of the NHL's best 2-2-2, but that's the record they achieved following a 3-2 overtime loss to the Dallas Stars on Thursday.

Dallas starter Jake Oettinger has also been better on home ice with a .918 SV% and 2.18 GAA compared to respective .901 and 2.82 marks on the highway.
