The Colorado Avalanche had gone a full week since wrapping up their first-round series, and were down three goals in the first period on the road against the top-seeded team. But once league MVP finalist Nathan MacKinnon and the Avs starting getting back into the flow of things Tuesday night, the Dallas Stars seemed to suddenly get hit by fatigue.
Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon celebrates in front of right wing Valeri Nichushkin and Dallas Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen after scoring a goal in the third period in Game 2 of an NHL hockey Stanley Cup second-round playoff series in Dallas, Tuesday, May 7, 2024.
“At the end of the day, it’s playoff hockey, and there is just no quit,” said defenseman Cale Makar, who had a goal and two assists. “If you are going to look at this game I feel like, as a group, we just stuck with it and grinded it out and found a way to win it.” The Avalanche, the 2022 Stanley Cup champion, finished their first series in five games over Winnipeg.
