Stars Fail to Close Out Avalanche

Game 5 Goes to Colorado

The Dallas Stars were unable to close out the Colorado Avalanche in Game 5 on Wednesday, extending the series to Friday's Game 6 in Denver.

The Avalanche rallied from a 3-0 deficit to defeat the Stars 5-4 in overtime, with Mikko Rantanen scoring the game-winning goal just 1:03 into the extra period.

The Stars had a chance to win the series in regulation, but they were unable to convert on a power play in the final minutes of the game.

The series is now tied 3-2, and Game 6 will be played in Denver on Friday night.

The Avalanche are now one win away from advancing to the Western Conference Finals, while the Stars are facing elimination.
