Roope Hintz scores in 4th round of shootout as Stars outlast Avalanche 3-2

DENVER (AP) --- Roope Hintz scored in the fourth round of the shootout and the
Dallas Stars beat Colorado 3-2 on Wednesday night in a game where the Avalanche
had two early goals disallowed.
Hintz sent a wrist shot past Scott Wedgewood. Casey DeSmith secured the win by
stopping Brock Nelson.
Miro Heiskanen and Arttu Hyry scored for the Stars, who split a back-to back
set of games with the Avalanche. They lost 3-2 at home the night before.
Hyry nearly won it in overtime but sent a bouncing puck off the post. Hyry's
short-handed tally off a steal against Cale Makar gave the Stars a 2-1 lead
early in the third period before Nelson tied it with 11:39 left.
Gabriel Landeskog also had a goal for Colorado.
The Avalanche had quite a night of disallowed goals and close calls. Jaden
Schwartz saw his score overturned in the first period after the Stars
successfully challenged for offsides. Later in the period, Gabriel Landeskog's
goal was taken off the board when it was ruled the captain made a kicking
motion to knock in the puck.
In the third, Gavin Brindley thought he scored and even began celebrating with
teammates. But the officials never ruled it a goal and replays showed it
glanced off both posts and didn't go into the net.
DeSmith finished with 25 saves for Dallas. He stopped three of four in the
shootout. Stars forward Oskar Back suffered an upper-body injury in the first
period and didn't return.
Makar returned to the lineup after missing Tuesday's game against the Stars. He
and his wife welcomed twin boys on Wednesday morning.
