After patiently awaiting for a few extra days, the Colorado Avalanche has finally received confirmation on their opponent for the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. It will be none other than the Central Division champions, the Dallas Stars. The Stars solidified their place in the next round after a thrilling 2-1 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 7 of their first-round series on Sunday night. As the division champions, the Stars will have the advantage of home ice in their upcoming series against the Avalanche.
The Avalanche will now have a week to rest and prepare for their next challenge, with Game 1 set to take place at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. This break between games will be a welcome relief for the team, as they have had a grueling schedule thus far in the playoffs. In a reversal of their previous series against the Winnipeg Jets, where they were facing a team that had beaten them in all three regular-season meetings, the Avalanche have a more favorable record against the Stars this season, having won three out of their four matchups.
However, the Stars did come out on top in their last meeting, with a convincing 7-4 victory at the Ball Arena on April 7th. As the two teams prepare to face off once again, fans can expect an intense and highly competitive series between these talented teams. The schedule for the series has been released, with the first four games set to be broadcasted on either ESPN, TNT, or truTV.
The full schedule is as follows:
Game 1: Colorado at Dallas - Tuesday, May 7 at 7:30 p.m. (ESPN)
