The Dallas Stars patiently await their challenger.
Colorado and Seattle have battled it out for six games without a solution in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, so Ball Arena will host a winner-take-all Game 7 on Sunday (7:30 p.m. MT, TNT). Here are three keys for the Avs to advance.
1. No more time for “almost” on power play. The Avs have gradually started pounding away at Seattle’s penalty kill throughout this series, looking more dangerous every game. It culminated with multiple near-perfect power play shifts in Game 6 … yet Colorado still finished 0 for 5.
