The Avs get rewarded for their dominance in a 4 - 1 win over Chicago.

The Avalanche are unable to conquer their demons mustering just one goal against the Stars and falling in the shootout.

The Avalanche played well but didn't win. Is that good enough? Probably not. Makar scores the only goal for the Avs in a game where they doubled up the Stars in shots but couldn't hold the lead.
