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.
