Well that was...something. The Colorado Avalanche lost to the Dallas Stars 2-1, in what was the most preseason-y of preseason games you could imagine. The Avs had a much better start than last game and put on a lot of pressure but 2018 first round pick Jake Oettinger was great during his two periods in net for the Stars.
There were a lot of new faces in the lineup and you could tell that the veterans weren’t going at full speed for most of the night.
The coaching staff also gave Bowan Byram and Martin Kaut chance to prove themselves.
