The Dallas Stars look to eliminate the Colorado Avalanche on the road and advance to the Western Conference Semifinals.
The Stars lead this best-of-seven series three games to two. Dallas finally matched Colorado with a blowout win of their own, dominating Game 5 with a 6-2 victory on home ice. The Stars built a 3-0 lead, the Avalanche cut it to 3-2, but Dallas gradually extended the lead again. The Stars were outshot 28-27 and outhit 51-29, but their penalty kill went 3-for-3 and the power play converted 1-of-4 opportunities.
The Avalanche will look to regroup at home and reignite their typically high-powered offense. Both of their wins in this series have come by four goals, with one explosive period making the difference and the defense holding strong throughout. Colorado needs to set the tone early and find more production from its depth scorers.

Stars vs Avalanche Predictions and Picks
The Stars rank sixth in goals against, fourth in penalty kill, and third in scoring. Matt Duchene leads the team in points and recorded an assist in Game 5. Dallas has done well generating chances and hasn't held a lead for long stretches in the first four games. In Game 5, however, the Stars demonstrated how effective they can be on both ends of the ice, aided by a bounce-back performance from goalie Jake Oettinger, who made 26 saves. Dallas will aim for a close, low-scoring win on the road in Colorado.
The Avalanche ranks sixth in scoring, eighth on the power play, and 11th in goals against. Nathan MacKinnon leads the team in goals, assists, and points. In Game 5, he posted a goal, an assist, a plus-minus of zero, and seven shots on goal. Even in a four-goal loss, the Avs' leader delivered a steady effort and continued to play hard. Colorado will need their other lines to step up, convert on power play opportunities, and prioritize quality scoring chances over physical play.
The last two games in Colorado hit the under and had a defensive tone, featuring close contests and steady scoring by the Avalanche throughout. Both teams have responded with four-goal wins in this series, and now it's time for Blackwood and the Avalanche to tighten things up in this elimination game.
