Dallas Stars - Colorado Avalanche: NHL match betting tip and bets

Current form

Dallas played a great game throughout almost the entire season and consistently scored points, which allowed the team to easily advance to the playoffs ahead of schedule. However, the stars did not come to the Stanley Cup in the best shape. Right before the curtain of the regular season, the team began a serious decline, which caused them to suffer as many as seven defeats in a row, and most of them ended in regular time. Even the walls at home did not help the team achieve the desired result. The club lost in overtime to Vancouver (5:6), and after that it was completely defeated by Winnipeg (0:4) and Utah (3:5).

It seemed that at least in the final match, Dallas would be able to please the fans and stop its string of failures, but again there were huge problems in defense, which led to another defeat from Nashville (1:5). Indeed, first of all, the decline is associated with constant failures in defense, and the attacking line could not compensate for them with its effectiveness. It is for this reason that the club did not retain the second place in the Western Conference table, dropping to the third position.

Disqualifications and injuries

Haiskanen, Lundqvist and Robertson will not play.

Interesting betting trends

• On average, Dallas scores 3.4 goals per game.
• The Stars completed 23% of the majority attempts

Current form

Colorado has traditionally once again become one of the most productive clubs in the league at the end of the regular season. Due to its powerful offensive line, the team confidently advanced to the playoffs and took fifth place in the Western Conference table. On average, the club scores as many as 3.37 goals per match. Only Tampa Bay and Washington have a higher rate. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that the problems in defense have not gone away. The Avalanche mostly rely on the attacking line, but because of this, there are gaps in defense, which the opponents take advantage of.

At the end of the regular season, the Avalanches lost quite a lot of points due to their weak defensive play. The team was unable to cope with the pressure of St. Louis (4:5), and also suffered a defeat from Vancouver (1:4). After that, the team went to Los Angeles, where they also lost by one goal (4:5).

Disqualifications and injuries

Pullman will definitely not play in the upcoming match. There are also five players in question: Drouin, Lehkonen, Lindgren, Munson and Nichushkin.

Interesting betting trends

• Colorado gets an average of 6.59 minutes of penalty time.
• According to statistics, the Avalanches perform 18 power moves per match.
