About this episode
Colorado Avalanche snap Dallas Stars’ winning streak with a dramatic 5-4 shootout comeback—did Jamie Benn’s shocking empty-net miss reshape the Central Division race? Chris Micieli and Zach Pearson break down the Avalanche’s resilient win, spotlighting clutch moments from Valeri Nichushkin, Nathan MacKinnon, and Scott Wedgewood’s game-changing relief in net. Key insights include Colorado’s revitalized power play, penalty killing mastery against Dallas’ top-ranked unit, and how recent moves—like reacquiring Nazem Kadri—are energizing the Avs’ roster.
The hosts analyze McKinnon’s late first-period power play strike, Nichushkin’s heroics against his former team, and the emotional rollercoaster caused by Benn’s failed finish. Discussion also covers Ross Colton’s physical presence, lingering lineup absences, and why a playoff collision with the Stars feels inevitable. With tactical shifts and key contributions across the lineup, are the Avalanche primed for a deep postseason run? Don’t miss this in-depth Avalanche vs. Stars breakdown and the wildest finish yet this NHL season.
