It’s the most exciting thing in postseason hockey: Game 7. The Stars and Avalanche face off Saturday in a winner-take-all game in Dallas, with the victor advancing to the second round and the loser going home to start prepping for the 2025-26 NHL season.
It’s been one heck of a series, with Wyatt Johnson, Mikko Rantanen, Roope Hintz and company leading the Stars and Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar and Gabriel Landeskog coming up big for the Avalanche. It’s almost a shame one team has to lose this game.
What a wild four-game stretch this has been. The Stars won in overtime in Game 2 and Game 3, the Avs won a 4-0 shutout in Game 4, Dallas won 6-2 in Game 5, and Colorado stormed back 7-4 in Game 6. Hockey fans, are you not entertained!?
