Colorado Avalanche - Dallas Stars: NHL match betting tip
Colorado will have a showdown with Dallas on its ice on May 2. The Avalanches are inferior in this series, but they are considered favorites in the upcoming meeting. Indeed, they finished the last match on their own ice with a score of 4:0 and did not encounter resistance from their opponent. However, will they be able to play in the same vein now? What should I bet on? Look for answers to these questions in the betting tip
Command Analysis
Colorado Avalanche
USACurrent form
Colorado was considered the favorite of this confrontation, as it had a much better end of the regular season and approached the start of the playoffs in a good mood, unlike Dallas. However, this opponent turned out to be very unpleasant and inconvenient for the team. Note that the Avalanches cannot always play their hockey and from time to time have problems with the realization of moments.
This fact is very painful for them, because the Avalanche constantly rely on their perfect offensive game and are used to scoring a lot, so if something goes wrong, they don't have a backup plan, because they still play pretty mediocre defensively and make a lot of mistakes in their zone. Even in the last match, the club was defeated 2-6 and unsuccessfully played both the first and second game segments.
At the same time, goalkeeper Mackenzie Blackwood, who played the fourth match of the series perfectly and scored a cracker, did not play his best in the previous match and conceded five goals in 18 shots, which is why Scott Wedgwood came out in the third period instead of him, who, however, also managed to miss once.
Disqualifications and injuries
Colton and Pullman will not be able to play in the upcoming meeting.
Interesting betting trends
- Colorado gets an average of 12.8 minutes of penalty time.
- Avalanches, according to statistics, make 33 shots on target.
Dallas Stars
USACurrent form
Dallas looked very good throughout the season and was among the leaders of the Western Conference. The team seriously slowed down only at the end of the regular season and faced a long series of defeats, which, as we can see now, did not affect it in any way during the playoffs.
The sheriffs have been able to completely mentally reboot and are now acting from a position of strength. Of course, not always, but they still manage to neutralize most of the threats at their gates. A lot in this case depends on the actions of Jake Ettinger, who, by the way, managed to parry a total of 26 shots in the last match. It is also worth mentioning that the club is very well outnumbered in this series and currently has 82.4% neutralization of the majority of the opponent, which is a cool indicator.
However, most of all, Peter Deboer's team does not like to play against Colorado in the second half of the game. As a rule, the game doesn't stick so well with the stars on the far benches, so they have a 4:7 ratio of goals scored and conceded in this twenty-minute period.
Disqualifications and injuries
Robertson and Lundqvist will not be able to play in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- Dallas wins 49.2% of face-offs
- Sheriffs get 12.4 minutes of penalty time

2.30Tip and bets
We think that this confrontation should reach the seventh match. Colorado performs great on its ice and it was no accident that it literally defeated its opponent last time. If the Avalanches play better offensively this time and take advantage of most of their chances, it will be difficult for Dallas to claim a favorable outcome. Plus, in this series, the Sheriffs have never won on the road in regular time.
Prediction - Colorado wins in 2.00
Betting on an individual total
We expect to see no more than two goals played by the guests this time. After the failure in the previous meeting, the Avalanche will probably try to play more reliably in their own zone and not allow the opponent to score a lot. Plus, in the last three out of five matches against Dallas, Bednar's team missed less than three times.
We're betting on Dallas' individual total of less than 2.5 goals in 1.88
Bet on the total total
We definitely wouldn't expect a lot of dropped goals this time. This match is of great importance for both teams, so there is a high probability that they will hold it in a closed style and will not force events. The clubs will try to make as few mistakes as possible, which will lead to a minimum number of goals.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 2.20
