WHERE/WHEN
April 7, 2016 Game 81
American Airline Center, Dallas, Texas
HIGHLIGHTS
Already eliminated from the playoff race, the Colorado Avalanche had a chance to spoil the Dallas Stars’ hopes of clinching home ice. Yet just as bad habits have a nasty way of rearing their head, the Avalanche fell victim to their own. Turnovers, poor defensive zone breakouts, worse possession statistics, and a tendency to chase the game rather than own the game led to the downfall of the Avalanche.
Tyson Barrie started the downward trend of the game by taking a cross-checking call at 3:26 of the first period.
