Colorado Avalanche at Dallas Stars Preview & Picks

Colorado are backed to win as an underdog in Dallas.

The Avalanche have a major rest advantage and they have had the Stars’ number over the past couple of years.

  • Colorado Avalanche are 7-3 in the last 10 meetings
  • Colorado Avalanche are 4-1 in their last 5 visits to Dallas
  • The Over has cashed in 5 of the last 6 meetings
  • The Over has hit in 8 of Colorado’s last 10 games

Head To Head

  • Colorado Avalanche won the regular season series 3-1
  • Dallas Stars won 7-4 when the two teams last met on April 7

Colorado Avalanche Form

Colorado enter this matchup having won four straight playoff games to advance from the first round.

The Avalanche, who went 50-25-7 in the regular season, got off to a rough start in the postseason as they lost 7-6 in Winnipeg in Game 1.

They issued an emphatic response though, as they took the second game 5-2 to knot up the series before heading home.

Colorado then took control of the series on the home ice, as they downed the Jets 6-2 and 5-1 to give themselves the chance to clinch on the road.

The Avalanche did just that, running out 6-3 winners in Winnipeg to complete a 4-1 series success over the Jets.

Dallas Stars Form

Dallas enter this second-round matchup having gone the distance in a thrilling seven-game series with Vegas.

The Stars, who topped the Central Division with a 52-21-9 record, made a nightmare start to the playoffs as they lost back-to-back home games, 4-3 and 3-1.

They rebounded on the road though and were able to level up the series by winning 3-2 in overtime and 4-2 in regulation.

Dallas then returned home to record a 3-2 victory over the Golden Knights, but they failed to clinch on the road as they lost 2-0 in Game 6.

That set up a winner-takes-all clash in Dallas on Sunday, and the Stars delighted the home crowd with a 2-1 win over Vegas.

Verdict

Colorado boast an excellent recent record against Dallas that includes a bunch of wins in the ‘Big D’.

The Avalanche also have a massive rest advantage, so they make for an appealing underdog in Game 1.
