Mackenzie Blackwood is already fitting right in with the Colorado Avalanche in their eighth consecutive postseason, and a roster filled with playoff experience that includes 10 players who were part of their Stanley Cup title three years ago.

To cap off the first day of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Colorado Avalanche put up five goals to the Dallas Stars' one to take Game 1 in their first-round series against the Dallas Stars.

The Colorado Avalanche beat the Dallas Stars 5-2 on Saturday to take a 1-0 lead in their first-round series. This is Colorado’s eighth trip to the playoffs in Jared Bednar’s nine years as the head coach.
