Dallas at Colorado

The Avalanche, impressive early have been anything but of late. Colorado has won just two of their last six, but most disturbing is their 1-3 mark in their last four on home ice here they have allowed 14 goals in the four games or 3.5 per contest. The Stars have tallied 15 goals in their last three games, so this one looks like a mismatch going to the Stars. Not so fast, Dallas is in a bad spot, as they are 14-37 in their last five following a win, 9-23 on no rest, and 7-20 on the road vs. a team with a losing home record. That is a cumulative 30-80 bad situation against the Stars here. The Avalanche have shined at home vs. the real good road teams as they are 5-1 vs. teams with a road winning percentage of greater than .600 in their last six. The Stars have never fared well here winners of just one of their last six in Colorado. Colorado wins this one.
