Nathan MacKinnon and the Colorado Avalanche outshot, but couldn't outscore, the Dallas Stars in a 4-1 Game 3 loss Sunday night at Ball Arena.
Stars center Tyler Seguin's second-period goal made the difference as the Avalanche fell into a 2-1 Eastern Conference semifinals series deficit.
Fans were disappointed by the Avalanche's effort, especially in the third period. The 2022 Stanley Cup champions were outshot 10-7 while trailing in the final frame.
MacKinnon was held to one assist after failing to record a point for the first time this postseason during the Avalanche's Game 2 loss.
