The Dallas Stars and Colorado Avalanche played Game 3 last night. The Stars lost, 6-4, and now have a 2-1 lead in the series.
FIRST PERIOD
The opening frame of last night’s game was reminiscent of Game 1. Both teams came out trying to set the tone and impose their will on the other side. That’s likely why the hit count was 25-22 in favor of the Avalanche after the first 20 minutes.
Colorado got the only power play of the first period, but the Stars continued their good penalty killing from the last half of Game 2 and limited any real dangerous looks they had.
