The Dallas Stars are headed to Round 2.
With a 4-2 come-from-behind Game 7 win against the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday, the Stars punched their ticket to the second round. They now await the winner of Sunday’s Game 7 between the St. Louis Blues and Winnipeg Jets.
Down 2-0 off a Josh Manson shorthanded marker and a Nathan MacKinnon snipe on a delayed penalty, the Stars managed a comeback for the ages to take down their Central Division rivals.
Former Avalanche Mikko Rantanen scored the Stars’ first two to tie it up, while Wyatt Johnston delivered the game-winning blow on the power play with just four minutes remaining. Rantanen completed his hat trick with an empty-netter with 2.7 seconds remaining.
More to come.
