Dallas Stars at Colorado Avalanche Preview & Picks

Colorado are tipped to bounce back from the Game 5 defeat and force Game 7.

The Avalanche have dropped a home game in this series, but they have tended to beat the Stars on the home ice this season, and they are in good form overall at the Ball Arena.

  • Colorado Avalanche are 13-4 in their previous 17 home games
  • Colorado Avalanche are 3-1 at home to Dallas this season
  • Dallas Stars are 1-4 in their previous 5 road games
  • 11 of the last 14 meetings have produced 6 goals or more

Head To Head

  • Dallas Stars won 6-2 when the two teams last met on April 28

Dallas Stars Form

Dallas head back to Colorado with an opportunity to wrap up the series following their Game 5 win at home.

The Stars began this series with a 5-1 home defeat to Colorado, but rebounded over the next couple of games to take the lead.

They recorded back-to-back overtime victories, winning 4-3 at home and 2-1 on the road, only to then suffer a 4-0 defeat in Colorado that levelled up the series one again.

Dallas rallied at home though, regaining the series lead with a 6-2 blowout of the Avalanche on Monday.

The Stars claimed their place in the postseason by putting together a 50-26-6 regular-season record to finish second in the Central Division.

Colorado Avalanche Form

Colorado return home knowing that they must win back-to-back games to advance in the postseason.

The Avalanche got off to the perfect start as they won 5-1 in Dallas, but they failed to build on that series-opening win.

They were beaten 4-3 in overtime in the second meeting, before returning home for a 2-1 overtime defeat to the Stars.

Colorado rallied to level the series with a 4-0 shutout victory, but fell behind again on Monday as they were beaten 6-2 in Dallas.

The Avalanche sealed their spot in the playoffs by putting together a 49-29-4 record to finish third in the Central Division.

Verdict

Colorado are in a ‘must-win’ situation, and we expect them to get the job done at home.

The Avalanche have been in solid form on the home ice and have won three of the four meetings with the Stars at Ball Arena this season.
