The Dallas Stars and Colorado Avalanche delivered one of the most intense games of the NHL season — and it felt like a playoff preview.
In this Starcastic Remarks postgame reaction, Ryan Chambers breaks down the Stars’ 5-4 shootout loss to the Avalanche after Dallas built a 4-2 lead earlier in the game. The biggest storyline of the night? Goaltending.
Scott Wedgewood entered the game and completely flipped the momentum for Colorado, making several key saves and shutting the door the rest of the way. Meanwhile, Jake Oettinger couldn’t quite find the stop Dallas needed late in the game.
Ryan also dives into the standout performance from Justin Hryckowian, whose relentless forechecking and motor were noticeable all night. If this game was any indication, he could become a real playoff difference maker for the Stars.
Plus, we break down the Dallas Stars trade deadline moves, including the additions of Michael Bunting and Tyler Myers, and how Jim Nill’s latest roster tweaks may impact Dallas heading toward the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Topics include:
