After a winning streak where things went right for the Stars often enough to keep moving forward, the Avalanche reminded them that the shoe does occasionally find itself on the other foot.
Semyon Varlamov was good when the Stars did their best Carolina impression in the final period, just like Ben Bishop was good against the Hurricanes the other night when they brought the house. The Canes hit the crossbar Saturday, and the Stars did that in the 3rd in Colorado, too. It was great when the Stars benefited from it, but it’s not so fun to be reminded that occasionally, your best isn’t good enough.
