The Colorado Avalanche triumphed over the Dallas Stars in a thrilling Game 6, forcing a decisive Game 7 back in Dallas. Star Gabriel Landeskog, who has returned after a significant knee injury, has been a pivotal player in the series, contributing four points since his comeback. Landeskog emphasized the importance of this moment for his team, expressing confidence and eagerness to tackle the challenge ahead. The Avalanche must rely on their key players to navigate this difficult road matchup, especially against the formidable Stars, who excel at home.

Coached by Peter DeBoer, the Stars enter Game 7 with an impressive 8-0 record in such games, suggesting they possess the necessary experience and composure for high-pressure situations. As history shows, players often feel the weight of the moment in a Game 7, but DeBoer's ability to manage his squad's nerves could be a decisive factor. The victor will advance to face either the St. Louis Blues or Winnipeg Jets, both of whom are also heading to a Game 7.
