Cale Makar scored 34 seconds into overtime and Colorado recovered after squandering a late two-goal lead to win 4-3 over the Dallas Stars in the return of former Avalanche forward Mikko Rantanen.

The Dallas Stars forward helped set Jason Robertson up an opening goal in Central Division showdown with the Avalanche, setting a new career milestone in the process. According to the Stars, Rantanen’s tertiary assist on the scoring play meant he reached 400 assists in his NHL career.

With a likely Stars-Avalanche first round in the cards, GMs Jill Nill and Chris MacFarland spoke to The Athletic about their deadline moves.
