This nearly ended one overtime period sooner. In the first session, Cale Makar shoved Matt Duchene into Avalanche goalie Alexander Georgiev, Mason Marchment shot the puck into the vacant net, and the Stars should have been celebrating a victory. The NHL issued a wordy, yet unconvincing explanation of why the goal didn't count and defended the initial no-goal call for goalie interference. Had Colorado won, this would have been one of those all-time debates about a call that impacted the balance of a series and potentially the entire postseason.
It hasn't been a great week for certainty about the future of the Avalanche roster. The Avs already had one key player — captain Gabe Landeskog — whose future contributions remain in question due to a long-term injury. One position on the roster where the Avs have significantly fewer questions than they did at the start of this season is the most important one. Before this season began, the depth chart behind Nathan MacKinnon at center was arguably the biggest unknown about the 2023-24 roster.
Boston Bruins captain Brad Marchand wasn't too outraged over the disputed hit he took that's sidelined him for the past two games. “The more guys you take out, the more advantage your team has," Marchand said Thursday on the eve of Game 6 against Florida as the Bruins try to avoid playoff elimination. Marchand may be back in the lineup Friday but remains a game-time decision, coach Jim Montgomery said. Marchand missed two games since being staggered on a hit to his head from Panthers forward Sam Bennett in the first period of Game 3.
