Despite their contrasting play as of late, Colorado is still a -142 favorite on Tuesday. Dallas has played great defense as of late, but Colorado has an explosive offense ranking 2nd in the league in scoring.
Dallas Stars
Dallas as a +118 underdog seems almost too good to be true. The Stars did lose on Saturday as a -127 favorite, but had won six in a row prior to that.
It’s no secret to see what is guiding Dallas’ recent strong run. The Stars have given up 10 goals total over their last 7 games. Dallas has climbed to #1 in the league in goals against, giving up just 2.3 per game.
Both Ben Bishop and Anton Khubodin have been sparkling in net as of late so it doesn’t matter who gets the nod between the pipes for Dallas. Khubodin has held opponents to 2 goals or less in 5 straight, Bishop 3 in a row.
Dallas also got a shootout win on December 28th against these Avalanche at American Airlines Center. The total for Tuesday’s game reflects a strong defensive struggle as it is set at just 5.5.
Colorado Avalanche
Colorado looks like contenders at time but it appears their defensive struggles can doom them on any given night. The Avs have lost 6 of their last 8 and have allowed 9 goals total on their recent 2-game losing streak.
Over the span of their last 8 games Colorado also has a 6 and a 7 goal allowed performance. The good thing for Colorado is that Dallas isn’t known for their offensive potency, ranking 25th in goals scored on the year.
Jared Bednar’s team has had their own struggles offensively as of late though. Colorado was shut out vs. the Islanders last Monday which is almost unheard of.
Colorado is expected to turn to Philipp Grubauer to try and get back on track. The goaltender has taken the L in 6 of his last 8 appearances, mostly because the Avs get pelted by 32.7 SOG per game.

Free Dallas Stars vs. Colorado Avalanche NHL Prediction:
This line has trap written all over it but Colorado is just too expensive to play the contrarian angle at -142. Oddsmakers are telling us that the Avalanche get their offense clicking here.
It’s hard to see Dallas getting completely shut out in this one. That’s not because of the success of the Stars offense but moreso the struggles of the Colorado defense.
