It’s a Colorado Avalanche game day!
Colorado went into Dallas down 3-1 in the series and played arguably their best game to extend their season one more night. Now they have to bring that energy to their home crowd to force a Game Seven.
They did it with offense from their top players, led by Cale Makar’s two-goal game and Nathan MacKinnon’s dominant skating all over the ice. Where those two go, this team follows, and they will absolutely have to show up again for this not to be the end of the line.
It’s do-or-die time once again in Denver! Bring it on, Dallas Stars.
