The Colorado Avalanche were able to stave off elimination in game 6 against the Dallas Stars, setting up a final Game 7 back in Dallas. The series between the Avalanche and Stars has been very entertaining, with each side throwing punches at one another across the long series..
Entering the game, Avalanche star Gabriel Landeskog had a message for his team. Landeskog just returned to the ice in Game 3 from a brutal injury, but his presence has made a massive difference in this series.
“It’s an awesome opportunity for us,” said Landeskog, who returned in Game 3 after missing almost three years with a knee injury and has four points (one goal, three assists) in four games. “It’s a great challenge on the road, and we’re just looking to embrace all of it. We’ve earned the right to be here now for one game to advance.”
For the Avalanche to win this game, they are going to need the star players to show up. Dallas is a very good team at home, and Colorado will have the odds stacked against them entering this win-or-go-home matchup.
Additionally, Stars head coach Peter DeBoer enters this game with a perfect record in Game 7s over his career. DeBoer is a perfect 8-0 in the games, so the Stars will be bringing vast experience to the table.
Oftentimes, players tend to tense up in Game 7s to avoid making any small mistakes. But DeBoer seems to know how to handle his players, so the Stars will likely be ready to go.
The winner of this game will face either the St. Louis Blues or the Winnipeg Jets, who also have a Game 7 upcoming.
