Colorado Avalanche at Dallas Stars Preview & Picks

Dallas are backed to clinch this series on the home ice.

The Stars have issued a strong response to the Game 1 loss, and return home on the back of a couple of convincing road wins.

  • Dallas Stars are 4-1 in the last 5 meetings with Carolina
  • Dallas Stars are 7-2 in their last 9 games overall
  • All 3 of Dallas’ wins in this series have come in regulation
  • The Over has cashed in each of the last 5 meetings in Dallas

Head To Head

  • Colorado Avalanche won the regular season series 3-1
  • Dallas Stars lead this NHL Playoffs series 3-1
  • Dallas Stars won 5-1 when the two teams last met on May 13

Colorado Avalanche Form

Colorado cannot afford to lose one more game, having lost three straight to trail 3-1 in this series.

The Avalanche, who went 50-25-7 in the regular season, lost their playoff opener against Winnipeg, 7-6, but responded with four consecutive wins to advance.

They beat the Jets 5-2 on the road, 6-2 and 5-1 at home, and 6-3 on the road to set up this meeting with Dallas.

Colorado's win streak reached five games in the series opener as they beat Dallas 4-3 in overtime, but their form has nose-dived since then.

The Avalanche lost 5-4 in the second game in Dallas, before returning home for 4-1 and 5-1 defeats at the hands of the Stars.

Dallas Stars Form

Dallas head back home with their fate in their own hands, having won three consecutive games to take a 3-1 lead.

The Stars, who won the Central Division with a 52-21-9 record, made a rough start to the playoffs as they dropped back-to-back games at home, losing 4-3 and 3-1 to Vegas.

However, they responded by taking four of the next five games to advance, winning 3-2 (OT) and 4-2 on the road, before sandwiching a 2-0 road loss with 3-2 and 2-1 wins at home.

Dallas then lost the opening game of this series too, falling 4-3 in overtime to Colorado, but their response has been emphatic.

The Stars levelled the series with a 5-3 victory at home, and then went out on the road to register 4-1 and 5-1 victories in Colorado.

Verdict

Dallas have taken firm control of this series and now they have home ice advantage.

It is impossible to go against the Stars after those two one-sided road wins, and we expect them to get the job done in regulation.
