Apr 21, 2025; Dallas, Texas, USA; Colorado Avalanche defenseman Josh Manson (42) skates with the puck past Dallas Stars center Wyatt Johnston (53) during the first period in game two of the first round of the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs at American Airlines Center. Mandatory Credit: Jerome Miron-Imagn Images Colin Blackwell scored 17:46 into the first overtime period to give the Dallas Stars a 4-3 OT win over the visiting Colorado Avalanche on Monday in Game 2 of their first-round Stanley Cup playoff series.
The best-of-seven series is tied 1-1, with Game 3 set for Wednesday in Denver.
A healthy scratch in Game 1, Blackwell was inserted into the lineup and delivered the first playoff overtime winner (and just his second playoff goal) of his seven-year NHL career. Blackwell’s initial shot was blocked by teammate Sam Steel, but Blackwell then deposited his own rebound for the goal.
Steel had two assists for the forward’s third career multi-point playoff game.
Evgenii Dadonov, Thomas Harley, and Tyler Seguin scored for the Stars in regulation. Jake Oettinger stopped 34 of 37 shots, bouncing back after a hard-luck loss in Game 1.
Logan O’Connor had a goal and an assist for Colorado. Jack Drury and Nathan MacKinnon scored the Avalanche’s other goals.
Mackenzie Blackwood stopped 35 of 39 shots, with multiple outstanding stops against an aggressive Dallas attack.
Colorado opened the scoring on the power play 8:48 into the first period. MacKinnon found space inside the circle then fired a well-placed wrist shot past Oettinger.
With just 54 seconds left in the first period, Seguin scored a power-play marker of his own for the equalizer. It was Seguin’s first goal since Nov. 29, as the forward missed 58 games of the regular season recovering from a hip surgery.
The two teams exchanged goals within a 62-second span early in the second period. Harley temporarily gave Dallas its first lead of the series, but Drury quickly evened the score at the 4:42 mark.
After Seguin’s last-minute goal in the first period, O’Connor struck even deeper into the second frame with a spectacular goal at the 19:27 mark. While being pulled down by Dallas forward Mason Marchment, O’Connor still had enough strength and leverage to convert a backhanded shot from the slot.
Dadonov equalized again 10:13 into the third period. Wyatt Johnston’s initial shot was stopped by Blackwood, but Dadonov was in front of the net to jam in the rebound.

Oregon vs. Oklahoma State prediction, pick, odds, spread: Ducks host Cowboys team hungry for signature win
No. 6 Oregon hosts Oklahoma State on Saturday at Autzen Stadium, looking to build on a dominant opener.The Ducks rolled past Montana State 59-13 behind a perfectly balanced offense, finishing with 253 yards passing and 253 yards rushing. Twelve players recorded carries and 10 different receivers caught passes in the win.Oklahoma State arrives in Eugene after the worst season of the Mike Gundy era, a 3-9 campaign that included a winless Big 12 run. Quarterback Hauss Hejny impressed in his debut, but broke his foot and will miss at least a month. Freshman Zane Flores took over and guided the Cowboys to a 27-7 win against UT Martin.This will be only the second meeting between the programs. Oregon won the 2008 Holiday Bowl 42-31 in a matchup that pitted then-Ducks quarterback Jeremiah Masoli against standout receiver Dez Bryant. New playmakers […]
Iowa vs. Iowa State prediction, pick, spread: Cyclones put Cy-Hawk Trophy on the line in rivalry game
The Cy-Hawk Trophy is up for grabs in Saturday's 72nd in-state rivalry clash between Iowa and No. 16 Iowa State. Throw conventional wisdom out the window when these teams square off; the away team is a perfect 5-0 dating back to the 2019 contest. It is also typically a safe assumption that defense will be the name of the game when the heated foes square off, as neither team has scored more than 27 points since 2017.Iowa State took last year's meeting in a 20-19 classic with a pair of fourth-quarter field goals. Quarterback Rocco Becht lit up the typically stout Hawkeyes defense to the tune of 272 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and with his hot start to the 2025 season, perhaps a repeat effort is in store for one of the Big 12's most prolific passers.The Cyclones […]

Myles Garrett injury: Browns star pass rusher misses practice as opener vs. Bengals approaches
Imagn Images The Cleveland Browns had a notable absence during Thursday's practice in preparation for Sunday's regular season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals. Star pass rusher and 2023 NFL Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett did not practice while dealing with a hip injury, the team announced. Cleveland's injury report did not include Garrett on Wednesday, so it appears that the injury occurred sometime between the start of Wednesday's practice and the start of Thursday's practice. Garrett's status will certainly be something to monitor heading into Sunday's game against the Bengals. If Garrett can't go against Cincinnati, Joe Tryon-Shoyinka, a fifth-year veteran with 15 career regular season sacks to his credit, is in line to start for Cleveland at left defensive end. Because of Garrett's ability to play multiple positions on the Browns' defensive line, his absence would likely force Browns […]
