The Dallas Stars lost their first game of a back-to-back set in the friendly confines of the American Airlines Center tonight. The game was closer than it may seem, with the Avalanche taking down a 4-2 win off the back of an empty net goal at the end of the game.
Coming into tonight, Colorado had been fairly stingy in their goals against department. They’d only allowed two even strength goals against, a trend they continued tonight as Dallas was only able to put one even strength puck past Jonathan Bernier.
The thing is, Dallas seemed to be outplaying Colorado for a lot of the game.
