Dallas at Colorado

The Colorado Avalanche had things going their way to open the season. They owned a 4-1 record through their first five games, and all four wins were by two goals. They have quickly become a frustrated team, having now lost their last three. A team blowing out opponents, has now dropped three straight by an average of 2.2 goals a contest. The Stars have been the antithesis of the Avalanche, after a frustrating 1-3 start the Stars have it all going their way now and have recorded wins in each of their last four contests. The Stars were also the catalyst for the Avalanche slide, starting it with a 3-1 home win. They have had two days of rest and a chance to get themselves comfortable with the thin Colorado air, and shouldn't be an issue in this contest. These teams are heading in opposite directions, so make the play on Dallas.
