Colorado Avalanche vs Dallas Stars Prediction

The Avalanche are spiraling and their season is going to be over after this game. Comments after Game 5 were interesting about Nichushkin, and it’s a distraction that the team didn’t need. They also aren’t going to have a key part of their offense, and that is a big loss for them. The Stars offense has been quite impressive heading into this game and they are going to continue that success here. The Stars offense is going to get out to a fast start here, and the Avalanche are going to quit early. The Stars are going to run away with this game, and it’s going to get out of hand early. Back the Stars on the puck line to cash.
