Colorado tops Dallas in a OT shootout. Although I thought Dallas did not look overmatched by the Avs like they did in their last meeting where ironically Dallas won in an OT shootout, this probably seals a first round matchup between Dallas/Minnesota. Minnesota might be a more difficult matchup for Dallas than Colorado. Regardless of the result the dark side of this game is Roope Hintz went down with a severe injury. Rantanen was also not there and would clearly have been a difference. Rantanen might not be back until the playoffs. but if dallas can stay healthy, get rantanen back, and maybe get lucky and get Hintz back, I think they have a good shot at Colorado if they can get past the Wild.
