Watch: Avalanche, Stars trade goals 10 seconds apart late in regulation
The Colorado Avalanche and Dallas Stars saved some fireworks for the final minutes of regulation in Game 7 on Friday.
Vladislav Namestnikov buried his second goal of the contest to give the Avalanche a 4-3 lead with 3:40 left in the third period.
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.
