The Colorado Avalanche (56-29-7 SU, 48-44 ATS) host the Dallas Stars (59-25-10 SU, 41-53 ATS) in the sixth game of their playoff series, with Dallas holding a 3-2 lead in the series. After three games of generating nothing on the power play, Colorado ignited in Game 5, cashing in on two of its three opportunities on special teams. In this series, the Avalanche have gone 4-for-5 when they've won the game and 0-for-8 when they've lost the game. Colorado thrived last round in forcing Winnipeg to play its game; the Avs have to do the same against the Stars.

Dallas' penalty kill ranked eighth in the NHL during the regular season, and Colorado's play during Game 1 and Game 5 proved that the Stars' penalty kill can be beaten. It's only a matter of the Avalanche doing it.

Our Colorado Avalanche vs Dallas Stars Prediction

These offenses are proving that there's little that can be done to stop them. As good as the goaltending can be from both Dallas and Colorado, there's only so much it can do against talents like these squads. Colorado plays fast and generates chances, and Dallas is perfectly happy to play that way as well.

With a Game 6, expect the team who needs it more to play aggressively from the beginning. Colorado has already shown that its terms are tough when it dismissed Winnipeg. Dallas has thrived in playing that way, especially after having to grind games out last round against Vegas. Both teams look free in playing each other, which means goals should come easily. Our prediction for Dallas vs. Colorado is over 6.5 goals.
