As Brad mentioned in the recap, we've seen this movie before. Dallas can dominate Colorado, but the Avs have found a way to absorb the Stars' shot attempts and counterattack just enough to win.
Things didn't have to be that way, though. There was an Esa Lindell error early that almost negated a great start by Dallas, but Niemi came up huge. Later on, Dallas again produced all the pressure, but a breakdown in coverage resulted in golden chances for Soderberg and Mitchell that Niemi, again, shut down. Colorado was playing a loose counterattack game, and Dallas was giving them an opportunity to capitalize with high-grade chances.
