The Colorado Avalanche won eight games in a row against the Dallas Stars, but last night the Dallas Stars refused to give them a ninth. They paid with the loss of Jason Spezza to an upper-body injury and gave up a point by letting the Avs make it to overtime, but the Stars left Denver with the victory, have now won four of their last five games, and the January slump looks well and truly dead.
Mike Heika talked with Lindy Ruff about how the team made it happen:
Dallas once again dominated the shot clock, 44-24, but was trailing 3-2 after two periods.
