A boring first half of this Saturday contest between the Colorado avalanche and Dallas Stars completely flipped on it’s head in the second half when we saw five goals and three lead changes within a period and a little bit. Three goals and two lead changes in the final five minutes alone. Once the snow flurries settled, the Avs found themselves 3-2 winners over their Central Division rivals.
Mikko Rantanen was the hero for the Avalanche yet again, assisting on the first goal, and scoring the game-winning goal for the Avalanche with only 1:56 left to go in regulation.
