DENVER (AP) — Tyler Seguin scored the tiebreaking goal in the second period and added an empty-netter in the third, and Dallas goaltender Jake Oettinger made it all hold up, powering the Stars to a 4-1 win over the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday night for a 2-1 lead in their Western Conference second-round series.

The Avs pulled goaltender Alexander Georgiev with just under 2 minutes remaining and Seguin scored an empty-netter with 1:37 to go to make it 3-1, and Logan Stankoven, who scored Dallas' first goal, added a second empty-netter at with 28 seconds remaining.

With their second straight win, the Stars regained home-ice advantage in the best-of-seven series by throttling Colorado's high-powered offense that entered the night having averaging 5 goals a game in these playoffs, where they hadn't scored fewer than three goals in a game.

Avalanche forward Valeri Nichushkin was held scoreless for the first time in these playoffs. He was looking to become the third player in NHL history to have an eight-game goal streak during the playoffs (Reggie Leach, Philadelphia Flyers, 10 games in 1976; Brayden Point, Tampa Bay Lightning, nine games in 2021).
