I like the Avs to win this game on the road and take a commanding 2-0 lead in this series. The Avs no doubt looked a little slow to start game 1, however after their uncharacteristic 1st period, Colorado outshot Dallas 21-13 and scored 4 goals straight, showing how fast they can flip a switch. The Avalanche have now scored 4 goals or more in every playoff game this year and I look for that offensive firepower to continue tonight as Dallas’s offense has been inconsistent. The Stars have scored 3 goals or less in each of their L4 playoff games and they will need more goals than that to keep up, like we saw earlier this week. Colorado is 4-1 against the Stars their L5 head to head games and that dominance continues tonight. Take the Avalanche ML here. -Joey Tron
