DALLAS -- Colorado finally got to play with the lead against the Dallas Stars, though the Avalanche are still behind in the series.
Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar scored two goals, the second after Casey Mittelstadt's go-ahead tally in the third period, and they beat top-seeded Dallas 5-3 in Game 5 on Wednesday night. The Avs snapped their three-game losing streak and extended the second-round Western Conference series.
"Obviously a do-or-die game from here on out in the series," Makar said. "Each of us, we feed off each other. ... And I felt like we were back to kind of like forcing their hand tonight."
