Monster win in Denver. @DallasStars have a five point lead for the top spot in the Central Division. They also stand in great position to be the top overall seed in the West. https://t.co/1q3fY8qX5r
Big night, indeed. STARS WIN! @ATT | #TexasHockey https://t.co/OHl2JhHFHH
Stars are deep, man. Wyatt Johnston tops them in goals with 31 ... as their third-line center. West is going to be a slugfest but if Jake Oettinger takes care of his business in net, well, I just think it's their time.
The Stars had two scoring chances in the first 15 minutes of this period. Just doubled that total in eight seconds and got a goal. Scramble in front, think Wyatt Johnston will get credit. 6-4 Stars
Wyatt Johnston makes it 6-4 with 4:48 remaining. That just might be it
Drouin wins the draw and fights his way to the front of the net for the tip in! #Avs #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado https://t.co/f71oI0iPFd
Jonathan Drouin tips a Devon Toews shot past Oettinger and this thing isn't over yet. 5-4 Stars Dallas has 1 shot on goal in the first 11 minutes of this period. The legs ... might be leaving them.
