Dallas Stars at Colorado Avalanche Preview & Picks

The Over is backed to cash in the sixth game of this playoff series.

These two teams continued to pile up the goals when they meet, so another high-scoring encounter would not be a surprise.

  • The Over has cashed in 7 of the last 10 meetings (1 push)
  • 9 of the last 10 meetings have produced 6 total goals or more
  • Dallas Stars are 3-0 in the last 3 meetings in Colorado
  • The betting underdog has won 6 of the last 9 meetings

Head To Head

  • Colorado Avalanche won the regular season series 3-1
  • Dallas Stars lead this NHL Playoffs series 3-2
  • Colorado Avalanche won 5-3 when the two teams last met on May 15

Dallas Stars Form

Dallas travel to Colorado with another chance to wrap up this series after throwing away their opportunity in Game 5.

The Stars, who went 52-21-9 in the regular season, got off to a nightmare start in the playoffs as they lost 4-3 and 3-1 at home to Vegas.

They responded in style, winning 3-2 (OT) and 4-2 in Vegas and 3-2 at home, before responding to a 2-0 road defeat with a series-clinching 2-1 victory in Game 7.

Dallas made a losing start to this series too, suffering a 4-3 overtime defeat at home to Colorado, but just like in the previous round they won the next three games, 5-3, 4-1 and 5-1.

The Stars were unable to make it four-in-a-row though, as they were beaten 5-3 at home by the Avalanche on Wednesday.

Colorado Avalanche Form

Colorado head back home having kept their Stanley Cup dream alive with a victory in Dallas on Wednesday.

The Avalanche, who went 50-25-7 in the regular season, overcame an early miss-fire to march into the second round of the playoffs.

They responded to a 7-6 defeat in Winnipeg with 5-2, 6-2, 5-1 and 6-3 victories to wrap up the series in five games.

Colorado then made it five wins in a row with a 4-3 overtime win in Dallas in the opening game of this series, only to then lose the next three games.

Staring elimination in the face after 5-3, 4-1 and 5-1 defeats, the Avalanche kept themselves in the hunt with a 5-3 victory in Game 5.

Verdict

When these two teams go head-to-head, goals always appear to be on the cards.

So while the stakes are higher than ever in Game 6, it would not shock us to see these two teams produce another high-scoring encounter.
