The Colorado Avalanche secured a decisive 6-3 victory over the Dallas Stars, buoyed by standout performances from Artturi Lehkonen and Cale Makar. Lehkonen netted two goals and provided two assists, while Makar achieved a milestone with his 100th career goal, becoming one of the fastest defensemen in NHL history to do so.

Other Avalanche contributors included Jonathan Drouin and Casey Mittelstadt, who both registered a goal and two assists, further enhancing Colorado's offense. The game's momentum shifted when Dallas had a potential goal overturned due to an offside call, allowing Colorado to pull ahead decisively.
