The Colorado Avalanche topped the league standings and made smart moves at the trade deadline by adding Nicholas Roy for depth and Nazim Kodry right at the buzzer. They kept the momentum going with a 5-4 shootout win over rivals the Dallas Stars in a high-stakes match-up. Fans like Nate de McKinnon, Martin Neckas, and Kale Macker led the charge, combining for three goals in six assists. Neckas stood out with a key second-period tally, three helpers and the shootout winner. While the power play clicked with goals from Makar and McKinnon, fans saw a gritty slug fest packed with physical play and nine penalties total. Both sides brought star power that pushed the game to the edge, proving why these rivals deliver intense battles. And Dallas Goldie Mackenzie Blackwood had a rough night yanked after four goals on 11 shots. Back up Scott Wedgewood came in strong to steal the show.

1:01Blackwood's form has dipped since January, sitting at five wins and 11 starts with a say percentage of just 0.891. With their new pieces in place, the Avalanche look-white cut favorites, but show they are still human. They host the Minnesota Wild this weekend, then face the stars again on March 18 in Dallas and April 4 at home. D&N is sponsored by our partner. Some travel miles to find peace.
