Colorado will look to bounce back from the Game 1 loss with Pavel Francouz in net after Philipp Grubauer suffered a leg injury on Saturday. Francouz is just as capable as he owns a 21-7-4 record, a 2.41 goals-against average and .932 save percentage this season. He also has a 1.59 GAA in five postseason games and he came on in relief Saturday, stopping 18 of 20 shots. Dallas will have backup Anton Khudobin in goal again as starter Ben Bishop is out indefinitely. The Avalanche has won six of their nine postseason games and scored 14 goals its last two games versus Arizona. The Stars have lost five of their last seven games as underdogs, and Colorado is 8-2 its last 10 games after giving up at least five goals its previous game. Take the Avalanche on the puckline.
