Command Analysis

Dallas Stars

Current form
Dallas showed great results throughout the season and was one of the leaders of the Western Conference. At one point, the team even claimed leadership in the standings, but it frankly failed at the end of the regular season. The sheriffs started giving away failed matches and losing to rival after rival, and it was in this form that they approached the start of the playoffs.
Let's remind that before that they had suffered seven defeats in a row, so it was clear that even the opening match against the avalanches would be very difficult for them. And so it turned out, because Peter Deboer's squad lost with a score of 1:5, having failed to impose a tight fight on their counterpart. Note that then the stars unsuccessfully spent both the second and third game segments.
Dallas scored his only goal in the majority, but he couldn't offer anything to his opponent in equal formations. At the same time, throughout the season, the sheriffs were distinguished by their cool play on the home court and dealt with many opponents during regular time, and also often managed with less than three missed goals.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lundqvist and Robertson will miss the upcoming match due to injuries.

Colorado Avalanche

Current form
Colorado did not look its best at the start of the championship and performed very unstably. However, the team gradually gained shape and at the end of the regular season, unlike the opponent, showed its best side and achieved success in many matches. The Avalanche finished fifth in the Western Conference and scored a combined 102 points.
Throughout the season, the Avalanches were incredibly productive and demonstrated an extremely powerful offensive game, averaging at least three or four goals. Of course, the main star of the offensive line is Nathan McKinnon, who recently recovered from injury, but is already showing a bright game. By the way, in the first match, the striker scored a double and one assist.
At the same time, Mackenzie Blackwood played great on goal, parrying 23 shots and making some cool saves. Also, we must not forget that the majority is a powerful weapon in Colorado. During the regular season, Bednar's team had 24.8% of excess sales and scored in almost every match in 5x4 and 5x3 formats.
Disqualifications and injuries
Tucker Pullman will miss the upcoming bout due to injury.

2.45Tip and bets
In our opinion, Colorado is able to keep the upcoming fight for itself. The Avalanches look preferable to their counterpart at the moment and demonstrate stronger hockey. Dallas can't seem to pull itself together after the failure at the end of the regular season and continues to experience many different problems. Plus, the guests are an uncomfortable opponent for the sheriffs this season, so it makes sense to bet on their success again.
Prediction - Colorado wins with a handicap (0) in 1.70
Betting on an individual total
In previous meetings against Dallas, Colorado was very productive and scored at least three or four goals. The Avalanches, in general, have a great offensive game and have a number of skilled forwards who rank in the top 15 of the league's top scorers. In the last three meetings, the guests also scored a lot, so we suggest taking their individual total.
We're betting on Colorado's individual total of more than 2.5 goals for 1.55
Bet on the total total
The previous meetings between the clubs turned out to be spectacular and took place with at least six goals scored. Dallas has missed a lot lately, but he has often scored at least twice. The Avalanches play exclusively on opposite courses on the road and always try to score as many goals as possible. We think that we will see at least six goals in the upcoming match.
We take a total of more than 5.5 goals for 1.70
