Dallas plays at home with -135 moneyline and -1 puckline at +165 which makes them as favorites. In contrast, Colorado (+110) enters as underdog but they are filled with momentum. The over/under sits at 6.5 by reason of the attacking creativity and susceptibility of both sides. The over looks like a good bet but the match could EITHER go over the total or become more defense-minded, due to the situation.
Goaltender Alexandar Georgiev vs. Goaltender Jake Oettinger
Alexandar Georgiev has done a decent job for Colorado in the regular season as well finishing with cumulative statistics of 7 wins to 5 losses and an average of 3.27 GAA along with a save percentage of 0.875. Despite promising glimpses, his overall game is still inconsistent which is troubling. Against a potent offensive team like Dallas, Georgiev will be key as he has to be alert and avoid giving up secondary opportunities so that Colorado can stay competitive in the game.
On the other hand, it has been Jake Oettinger who has been the core of the Stars so far in the season with an 11-4-0 win-loss record accompanied by a GAA of 2.43 and a save percentage of 0.912. He has been good especially at home and will be tested against the very strong top line of Colorado. If Oettinger is able to remain composed and control the crease while minimizing the power play chances to the Avalanche, Dallas has a good chance to win the match.
Both goalies are capable of turning the game around for their respective teams, however Oettinger has given Dallas an edge with his consistent performance at home. If Georgiev manages to turn his problems of inconsistency around, then there could be a closer contest, however, Georgiev will have to do a better job than Oettinger in a high-scoring encounter which is likely to be the defining factor.
Colorado Offense in Full Swing
Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, and Cale Makar are the leaders of the offense scoring 35, 32, and 30 points respectively, which resonates well with Colorado’s attack. Goaltending issues plague the team, but their well-rounded offensive units make life extremely dangerous for opponents. On the road, Colorado has scored 2.5 over 13 out of the last 19 games, and thus, another offensive showcase against Dallas is predicted since they score highly. The key will be to get past Jake Oettinger’s home game, in which he plays well.
Dallas Balanced Attack
Dallas boasts a strong offense led by Matt Duchene (26 points) and solid defense with Jake Oettinger in goal and Miro Heiskanen on the blue line. Despite a surprising loss to the Chicago Blackhawks, the Stars have won 8 of their last 10 home games and hit the Over in 6 straight against Colorado. They’ll look to capitalize on their home-ice advantage with a potent power play and well-rounded play.

Colorado Avalanche vs. Dallas Stars Betting Prediction
It seems that this game is likely to see an avalanche of goals in light of the struggling offenses of the two sides. There is no doubt Colorado has been consistently scoring goals this campaign, Dallas however will come heavy, with Jake Oettinger in goal. The Stars are great in front of their fans and have dominated Colorado in their previous encounters. Expect a quick game, but an evenly spread out offensive unit and Oettinger’s composure should see Dallas emerge victorious.
In terms of wagering, the Over at 7.5 provides value given the nature of the periphery approach that will be featured. Prop bets involving Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen to register points are also good bets.
Score Prediction: Stars 5, Avalanche 3.
