Colorado Avalanche beat Dallas Stars 4-3 in overtime in first game of second playoff round.
Miles Wood screamed for the puck, and delivered the game-winner in overtime for the Colorado Avalanche once he got it.
Staying ahead of defenseman Miro Heiskanen, Wood got the puck around Jake Oettinger to wrap up only the Avalanche's third three-goal comeback to win a playoff game in their history — and first since 1997. “It would have been easy to kind of fold after that first period," MacKinnon said."But we felt like we were playing better than what the score showed. We wanted to see it through”Alexander Georgiev had 19 saves while winning his fifth consecutive start in goal for the Avs.
Jamie Benn had a goal and an assist for the Stars, who lost their series opener at home like in the first round when they dropped the first two games. Ryan Sutter and Wyatt Johnston also scored goals.Colorado scored 28 goals in five games against Winnipeg, and had gone a full week since wrapping that series up in five games. The Avs had three comeback wins against the Jets, but none of those were from more than one-goal deficits.
Suter, the 39-year-old defenseman whose 1,444 career regular-season games are the most for any player without winning a Stanley Cup, put the Stars up 1-0 with a 60-footer from near the left boards only 7 1/2 minutes into the game. Georgiev never saw the puck because of all the traffic in front of the net after Suter got a pass from Matt Duchene, who had just gotten up from taking a hit.
