1.1 seconds. That’s all it takes to turn a game around.
The Dallas Stars pressured the Colorado Avalanche through two periods, peppering goaltender Semyon Varlamov with 14 goals in each frame. They were able to break through once thanks to captain Jamie Benn. He sniped one past the opposite shoulder of Varlamov on a great hesitation and shot. It is the kind of goal that Stars fans are used to seeing the captain score, and a welcome sight after the slow(er) start he’s had to this season so far.
It looked as though that goal was going to be the only one scored by either team as they headed into the third period.
