Three goals down, the Colorado Avalanche was just getting started.
Colorado Avalanche right wing Valeri Nichushkin and Dallas Stars defenseman Chris Tanev crash the boards in the first period during game one of the second round of the 2024 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas on Tuesday, May 07, 2024. Miles Wood scored a breakaway goal in the first overtime to complete a stunning Avalanche comeback in Game 1 of its second-round series.
Makar got the Avs within one at 9:08 of the middle period with a laser beam of a wrist shot from the top of the offensive zone. Colorado scored six times with the extra man in the first round, and the Avs are now 8 for 18 on the power play in the postseason. The Stars, despite playing two nights prior to finish off the defending Stanley Cup champion Vegas Golden Knights in Game 7 of their opening-round series, grabbed a 3-0 lead in the opening period.
When the Avs didn’t have a communication breakdown or weren’t putting someone in the penalty box — Colorado had three infractions in the final five minutes of the period — the opening 20 minutes weren’t as bad as the scoreline indicated. The Avs allowed just three scoring chances at 5-on-5. The Stars were able to flip the flow of the game back in their favor at the start of overtime. Dallas had the first six shots on goal, including two glorious chances that Georgiev had to turn aside.Timberwolves demolish Nuggets in Game 2, stun Denver for 2-0 playoff series deficit
