Coach does game 4 of the NHL Playoffs play by play between the Dallas Stars vs Colorado Avalanche.
The Colorado Avalanche entered Game 3 of their Western Conference semifinal series with the most goals in this year's Stanley Cup playoffs, but the Dallas Stars found a way to shut them down.
Dallas earned a 4-1 win on Saturday night to take a 2-1 lead in the series, and it has a chance to steal another game in Denver when it faces the Avalanche on Monday night.
The Stars bounced back from an overtime loss in Game 1 to win the past two games and can close out the series at home in Game 5 if they win Monday night. Colorado, which had the best home record in the NHL this season, has to find a way to solve goaltender Jake Oettinger to avoid an early exit from the playoffs.
The Stars have never lost to Colorado in a playoff series that has gone beyond five games, and it will take at least six for the Avalanche to win this one. The teams have faced each other in five previous postseason series, with Dallas winning in seven games in three of those -- two in the conference finals -- and Colorado winning in five games in 2004 and 2006.
The Avalanche have already won a road game in this series and will need to take another in Dallas if they want to advance to the conference finals for the second time in three seasons.
