• Dallas Stars v. Colorado Avalanche – 4p ET Start Time
  • In Edmonton the Stars and Avalanche face off in an afternoon matinee to see who will move on to the Western Conference Finals starting on Sunday. In the first period Alexander Radulov would open the scoring while on the powerplay for Dallas, but Colorado would respond with goals from Vladislav Namestnikov and Andre Burakovsky to take the 2-1 lead. Then in the second period Joel Kiviranta would score his first career NHL Playoff goal to tie the game at two, but Nazem Kadri would score on the powerplay to retake the one goal lead for the Avalanche. In the third period Radulov would net his second powerplay goal of the game to tie the game back up at three, but then both teams would score in a span of ten seconds as Namestnikov (COL) and Kiviranta (DAL) would both score their second of the game to keep the game tied and send it to overtime. In the extra frame Kiviranta would complete the hat trick and send the Dallas Stars to the Western Conference Finals with the 5-4 victory.
