Now that's how you start a playoff series.
The Colorado Avalanche erased a 3-0 deficit in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals on Tuesday night, beating the Dallas Stars after Miles Wood scored the game-winner in overtime.
Turns out the 2021-22 champions still have that never-say-die resilience.
It looked like the Stars were going to absolutely cruise in this one after Ryan Suter, Wyatt Johnston and Jamie Benn scored in the first period, opening up a 3-0 lead.
But Valeri Nichushkin and Cale Makar countered in the second period with goals of their own, Nathan MacKinnon evened the contest early in the third and Wood provided the heroics in extra time.
