Initially, Dallas was the favorite in the series with Colorado, especially playing on the home arena, but now bookmakers believe more in the success of the Avalanche, for which there are certain reasons. Yes, it was not always possible to achieve the desired result when visiting the Avalanche, but in almost every meeting the club created very serious problems for the Stars. The stars lost their form at the end of the regular season and continued to show mediocre play in the Stanley Cup, and in particular, it is worth noting the constant failures in defense, which periodically leads to defeats.
