Avs 5 Goal First Buries Stars

Dallas Stars v. Colorado Avalanche
DAL Leads 3-1
Game 5

Out in Edmonton the Dallas Stars look to eliminate the Colorado Avalanche and advance to the Conference Finals, but in the first period Pierre-Edouard Bellemare would strike early to give the Avalanche the 1-0 lead. Then Andre Burakovsky, Nathan MacKinnon, Nazem Kadri, and Mikko Rantanen would score to give Colorado the commanding five goal lead.

In the second period the Stars look to climb back into this one as Joe Pavelski would score to get Dallas on the board. Then late in the second while on the powerplay Miro Heiskanen would score to bring the Stars within three, but Burakovsky would net his second of the game to regain the four goal lead. Then in the third period Jamie Benn would score while on the powerplay, but it would not be enough as the Avalanche would hold on to win 6-3 and force a Game 6.
