  • Colorado Avalanche are 12-3 in their last 15 home games
  • Dallas Stars are 1-8 in their previous 9 games
  • 10 of the last 11 meetings have produced 6 goals or more
  • The Over has cashed in 5 of the previous 7 meetings (1 push)

Head To Head

  • Dallas Stars won 4-3 in overtime when the two teams last met on April 21

Dallas Stars Form

Dallas earned their place in the playoffs by putting together a 50-26-6 regular-season record to finish second in the Central Division.

The Stars entered the postseason in miserable form though, with their last regular season win coming back on April 3 when they beat Nashville 5-1.

That was followed by a seven-game losing skid that sent them into the playoffs stone cold.

Dallas made a losing start to the postseason too as they failed to make home advantage count, losing 5-1 to Colorado.

The Stars avoided a ninth straight defeat however, as they battled to a 4-3 overtime victory over the Avalanche in Game 2.

Colorado Avalanche Form

Colorado claimed their spot in the postseason by compiling a 49-29-4 record to finish third in the Central Division standings.

The Avalanche entered this series on a mixed run of form, having gone 4-3 in their final seven regular season games.

They started April with back-to-back road wins, beating Chicago 3-2 and Columbus 7-3, and then bounced back from a 5-4 loss to St Louis with a 3-2 shootout success against Vegas.

Colorado failed to back that up as they lost 4-1 to Vancouver and 5-4 in Los Angeles, but they did end the regular season on a positive note, beating Anaheim 4-2.

The Avalanche followed that up with a 5-1 victory in the series opener in Dallas, only to then lose the second meeting with the Stars, 4-3 in overtime.

Verdict

Colorado lost last time out, but their trip to Dallas was a successful one thanks to the Game 1 win.

The Avalanche are now back home where they have been in strong form, so we are backing them to regain the series lead.
