However, 10 seconds later, Joel Kiviranta netted his second marker of the contest - and only his second career playoff goal - to even things up.

Neither side scored again before the end of the third period, sending Game 7 to overtime.

Kiviranta and Alexander Radulov potted a pair of goals apiece, providing all of the Stars' offense before the extra frame. Andre Burakovsky and Nazem Kadri notched the other markers for the Avalanche.

The winner of the contest advances to the Western Conference Final, which Colorado hasn't reached since 2002. Dallas is seeking its first appearance in the conference finals since 2008.
