After a few extra days of waiting, the Colorado Avalanche finally received confirmation of their opponent for the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. It was none other than the Central Division champion, the Dallas Stars. The Stars secured their spot in the second round after a hard-fought 2-1 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 7 of their first-round series on Sunday night. It was a close game, but the Stars came out on top, earning themselves home ice advantage against the Avs.
As for the Avalanche, they will have a well-deserved week off between their last game and the start of the second round. The first game of the series is scheduled for Tuesday at American Airlines Center in Dallas, with puck drop set for 7:30 p.m. This will be a highly anticipated matchup, especially since the Avs have won three out of four games against the Stars this season. It's a reversal of their previous series, where the Avs faced the Jets, a team that had beaten them in all three regular-season meetings.
However, the Stars did manage to claim victory in their last meeting against the Avs, with a score of 7-4 at Ball Arena on April 7. But the Avs are determined to come out on top in this series, and they are ready to give it their all. Here's the full schedule for the series, so mark your calendars and get ready for some intense hockey action.
The first two games will be played in Dallas, with Game 1 on Tuesday and Game 2 on Thursday, both at 7:30 p.m. These games will be broadcasted on ESPN and TNT/truTV, respectively. Game 3 and Game 4 will take place in Colorado, with the dates and times to be determined. They will also be aired on TNT and ESPN, respectively. If necessary, Game 5, 6, and 7 will take place on May 15, 17, and 19, with the location and time still to be determined. These games will also be broadcasted on TBD networks.
