Command Analysis
Colorado Avalanche
USACurrent form
Colorado has not been particularly stable throughout the season, especially when playing on the road. However, in the home arena, the team, as a rule, looked much stronger, and reserved many fights for themselves within the regular time. Let's remind that the Avalanche approached the series with Dallas in a more preferable form and it was no coincidence that they succeeded in the opening match with a score of 5:1.
However, they failed to hold a second meeting in a row in the same vein, so they returned to Denver with a draw. So, in the second match, Jared Bednar's team lost with a score of 3:4 in overtime. Then the club even had a minimal advantage in the score twice, but failed to bring the matter to a victorious end. But once again, the match turned out well for Nathan McKinnon, who had already scored three goals in a couple of matches.
We emphasize that during the regular season, Colorado was very much counting on playing with the far benches, so the second period was one of the best in his performance. In the series with Dallas, the team also makes great use of the additional free space and had already scored four goals in this segment.
Disqualifications and injuries
Landeskug, Pullman and Colton will not play in the upcoming meeting.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Colorado makes 31 shots on target.
- According to statistics, the Avalanches receive seven minutes of penalty time.
Dallas Stars
USACurrent form
Dallas showed terrible results at the end of the regular season and could not come to his senses. The team finished the regular season among the leaders only due to the fact that it had previously given out long winning streaks and managed without such failures. However, after that, the sheriffs faced a string of eight defeats.
That is why they approached the start of the playoffs in a bad mood, which may have influenced their unsuccessful actions in the opening game. Fortunately, Peter Deboer's team was able to pull themselves together in the second match and held it at a fairly high level. This victory was supposed to bring additional confidence to the stars in their abilities.
However, it will, of course, be even more difficult for Dallas to play on the road, because this season the club does not perform as well on foreign grounds as on its own ice, and even concedes about three goals per match on average. Do not forget that Dallas is very much counting on indoor hockey, so in the case of three or four goals conceded, it often faces serious problems.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lundqvist, Robertson and Heiskanen will not play in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- Dallas statistically performs 15 power moves per match.
- On average, Dallas gets 6.78 minutes of penalty time.

2.10Tip and bets
In our opinion, Colorado looks much preferable to its counterpart in this series and should not allow its opponent to kill itself on the home arena. The Avalanches looked great in the last match, but luck was not on their side. Note that the Avalanche use their moments better, and the sheriffs are clearly not so successful at visiting this season, so it's not surprising that Bednar's team is a clear favorite for the upcoming match.
Prediction - Colorado wins in 1.90
Betting on an individual total
We expect to see at least three or four goals from the home team in this match. Dallas misses quite a lot on a visit and usually allows opponents to score at least three times. In the last two matches, the Avalanches also scored at least three goals and demonstrated an extremely active game in someone else's zone, so it makes sense to take their individual total.
We take Colorado's individual total of more than three goals for 1.60
Bet on the total total
The last meetings between the clubs were spectacular and took place with more than five goals scored. The Avalanches only play outdoor hockey and have difficulty defending themselves. However, they fully compensate for them with a great attacking game and have an incredibly powerful three-pronged attack that can open up any opponent's defenses many times.
We bet on a total of more than 5.5 pucks for 1.60
