Game Recaps

• 

• 

• Dallas Stars v. Colorado Avalanche – 6p ET Start Time
  • Out west the Stars look to shine bright against the Avalanche who look to even the series at two. In the first period the Stars would bring it to Colorado as John Klingberg, Radek Faksa (PPG), and Jamie Benn (PPG) all would score to give Dallas the commanding 3-0 lead. In the second period the Avalanche would strike as Valeri Nichushkin would net his first of the playoffs to get them back within two, and then Cale Makar would score on the powerplay with 26 seconds left in the second to bring the Avalanche back within one. However, when the third period came around Roope Hintz (PPG) and Denis Gurianov would get the Stars their three goal lead back, but Nichushkin’s second of the game and Vladislav Namestnikov would score with four seconds left in the game would keep Colorado in the game, but it would not be enough as Dallas would hold on to win 5-4 to take the 3-1 series lead.
