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

Current form

It seemed that Colorado was not in the best shape for the playoffs, as the team often had problems at the end of the regular season, and periodically suffered crushing defeats. But in the very first Stanley Cup match, the team immediately dispelled all the fears of the fans by defeating Dallas with a score of 5:1. Striker McKinnon showed a great game, scoring a double and giving an assist. However, it was not possible to consolidate the success of visiting the Stars. Once again, the Avalanches showed a very active and productive offensive game, but due to defensive failures, it came to overtime, where they had to concede with a final score of 3:4.

It seemed that by returning to the home arena, the Avalanche would be able to take the lead again, but serious problems arose with both creating and implementing attacking chances, which had not been observed before. In three periods, we managed to score only one goal, but the defense also played much more reliably, however, this was not enough, and we had to concede in extra time (1:2).

Current form

Dallas began a serious recession at the end of the regular season, which lasted until the very playoffs. Due to a series of defeats from seven consecutive matches, the team dropped to the third place in the Western Conference table, which is why it faced a more serious competitor in the Stanley Cup in Colorado and suffered a crushing defeat from him in the first match with a score of 1:5. Goalkeeper Ottinger did not cope with his main task, reflecting only 83% of shots.

Continuing to perform on the home arena, the Stars were still able to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans, snatching a heavy victory in overtime (4:3). Thanks to an abandoned puck by striker Dadonov in the third period, they managed to equalize the score and put the game into extra time. It is difficult to even single out any of the players, as many have distinguished themselves by their effective actions. The Avalanche also had difficulties away, but still managed with great difficulty to win a second victory in a row outside of regular time (2:1). Ottinger fully rehabilitated himself, deflecting 96% of shots.
