Brandon Segal took a roughing minor for going after Matt Hendriks for a hard hit on Karlis Skrastins and the Avs cash in on the power play when Paul Stastny tips home a Peter Mueller slap shot from the point at 11:08 of the second.

After the Stars missed on their first power play chance of the game, Colorado got its first opportunity and scored. Milan Hejduk sent a cross-ice pass to Darcy Tucker, who scored off a one-timer from the right circle at the 4:28 mark.
The Stars answered at the 5:59 mark when Brandon Segal scored off the rebound of a Brad Richards shot to make it a 2-2 game.
1-1 after first

1-1 after one period.
Turco made a great save late in the period, stacking the pads to stop a Hejduk backhand shot from the slot.
I think Yelle might be out again. He came out to test it and left, so Colorado could be playing with 10 forwards.
1-1 in the first

Milan Hejduk off the rush from the right circle at 10:19 put Colorado up 1-0.
James Neal from his stomach set up Jamie Benn from close range to tie it 1-1 at 14:31. Nice work by Trevor Daley to pinch down and help create the chance.
Steve Ott and Matt Hendricks dropped the gloves on the faceoff after the Benn goal.
Colorado is down one forward. Cody Mcleod crawled off the ice after blocking a shot with his foot. They were down two, but Stephane Yelle has returned from the locker room.
