Colorado Avalanche Form

Colorado go into the second game of this series looking to extend their current win streak to six games.

The Avalanche, who went 50-25-7 in the regular season, made a rough start to the playoffs as they were beaten 7-6 by Winnipeg in Game 1.

They came roaring back though, knotting up the series with a 5-2 road win with 6-2 and 5-1 victories over the Jets at home.

Colorado then went back out on the road to clinch the series, running out 6-3 winners in Game 5 in Winnipeg.

The Avalanche backed up that big road win with another on Tuesday night, beating Dallas 4-3 in overtime in the opening game of this second-round series.

Dallas Stars Form

Dallas go into the second game of this series looking to open up a 2-0 lead before heading out on the road.

The Stars, who topped the Central Division with a 52-21-9 record, got off to a terrible start in the postseason as they lost 4-3 and 3-1 at home to Vegas.

They rebounded on the road though, knotting up the series with 3-2 (OT) and 4-2 victories in Vegas, and they then headed home to take the lead for the first time with a 3-2 win.

Dallas failed to wrap up the series on the road as they lost 2-0 in Game 6, only to get the job done at home as they won 2-1 in Game 7.

However, they failed to back that up in the opening game of this series, as they were beaten 4-3 in overtime by Colorado on Tuesday night.

Verdict

Goals appear to be on the cards whenever these two teams share the ice.

The Over has cashed repeatedly in recent meetings, and another high-scoring clash here would not surprise us.
