    DALLAS — For the first time in three years, the Avalanche are Game 1 winners in the first round. Colorado defeated Dallas 5-1 on the road to steal home-ice advantage from the reeling Stars. More importantly, they didn’t cough up a two-goal lead and instead put the game away with three late third-period goals. Mackenzie Blackwood was incredible, and Nathan MacKinnon led the offense. All around, the Avs looked like a team that was playing with a purpose.

The Avalanche’s starting netminder was the star of the show on Saturday, making 23 saves to help lift Colorado to a 5-1 victory in Game 1 over the Dallas Stars at American Airlines Center. Nathan MacKinnon had two goals and an assist, and the Avs scored three times in the later stages of the third period to put the game away.
