The exact betting odds for the match are yet to be seen, but with the series progress and how the teams have been playing recently, there are interesting stories on both sides. The Avalanche, who are playing well against the spread in their recent games and having home advantage, could see slight favoritism towards them, because of this, from the oddsmakers, too.
Goaltender Jake Oettinger vs. Goaltender Alexandar Georgiev
Jake Oettinger definitely has been the keystone for the Stars being on the ice in 54 games with a save percentage of .905 and 2.72 goals against per game that is average. His performance is crucial in dampening the high powered plays of the Avs, with the outstanding Mackinnon among others.
Starting opposite him are Colorado Avalanche’s Alexandar Georgiev who’s current stats are 63 games played, saving percentage of .897, allowing over 3 goals per game. He has to find a way to out their sharp- shooters like Jason Robertson and Wyatt Johnston. In net battle, the style of play as well as the game’s result could depend on this key playoff matchup.
Stars’ Scoring Prowess
Jason Robertson breaks through as a crucial part for the Stars garnering 80 points in the meantime, with Joe Pavelski and Wyatt Johnston acting in the way of the Stars’ offensive depth. Their skills to respond to power plays and score could highly strengthen the Stars in this game which is markedly rigorous.
Avalanche’s Offensive Juggernaut
Nathan MacKinnon is a real Colorado gem – the numbers speak for themselves, with him having 140 points in the regular season. They are co-middle men in a line-up with Mikko Rantanen and Cale Makar and can break any defensive setup. Successful puck possession and the formation of scoring opportunities for the Avalanche will be highly significant as far as win-or-go-home games are concerned.
