Stars-Avalanche Game 2 updates
First period
– 6:03 into the first: Dallas is still trying to get a feel for its opponent. The Avalanche have already taken three shots on goal, while the Stars have shot once.
There’s already some chippiness in this one as Colin Blackwell got involved in an early scrum.
– The puck has dropped at American Airlines Center. Official start time for Game 2 was 8:52 p.m.
Pregame updates
– 8:40 p.m.: For a few seconds, it appeared Colorado would get a significant boost from Gabriel Landeskog. That may not be the case for Game 2.
He was literally listed as active on the NHL media site roster report, and Miles Wood was listed as a healthy scratch.
Guess it’s OK to lie on official league releases now! Love that! https://t.co/PZ5n2YPzQY
