DALLAS--The Colorado Avalanche fell 4-3 to the Dallas Stars in a shootout on Saturday night at American Airlines Center in both clubs' final outing of the preseason.
Nazem Kadri and Andre Burakovsky scored their first goals of exhibition play 22 seconds apart in the first period to give the Avalanche an early 2-0 lead, but the Stars constructed a comeback with two tallies in the final four minutes of the contest to send the outing into extra time.
Joonas Donskoi also found the back of the net for the Avs, while Jamie Benn and Joe Pavelski both had multi-point outings for Dallas (goal and assist each).
Colorado used a mostly veteran lineup, with goaltender Philipp Grubauer playing the entire game and finishing with 33 saves.
