Avalanche hope to rediscover offense in Game 4 vs. Stars

The Colorado Avalanche entered Game 3 of their Western Conference semifinal series with the most goals in this year's Stanley Cup playoffs, but the Dallas Stars found a way to shut them down. Dallas earned a 4-1 win on Saturday night to take a 2-1 lead in the series, and it has a chance to steal another game in Denver when it faces the Avalanche on Monday night. The Stars bounced back from an overtime loss in Game 1 to win the past two games and can close out the series at home in Game 5 if they win Monday night. Colorado, which had the best home record in the NHL this season, has to find a way to solve goaltender Jake Oettinger to avoid an early exit from the playoffs.
