It’s been back-to-back overtime games, blown third-period leads, and tragic finishes for the Colorado Avalanche.
There’s no way around it. This was as bad as it gets.
Despite the Avalanche beginning the overtime period with 3:21 left on the power play, they failed to convert, as they did all night. That allowed Mason Marchment to feed Tyler Seguin for the 2-1 game-winner. The Stars have taken a 2-1 series lead and have collected four consecutive playoff victories at Ball Arena.
Avalanche captain Gabe Landeskog returned to the lineup for the first time since Game 6 of the 2022 Stanley Cup Finals against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
