Dallas vs Colorado Prediction 8 May 2024
Match Preview
The Western Conference winner against the 2022 Stanley Cup holder. Colorado breezed through the first round, facing little resistance from Winnipeg – the teams were too mismatched. On the other hand, Dallas went all seven games against Vegas, the reigning champions, and that matchup was very tough. In fact, the Texans had only two days to prepare.
Colorado steamrolled in the first round over Winnipeg and the NHL's top goaltender of the season, Connor Hellebuyck: a high-performing defensive line, pressure in the crease, personal forecheck. The result – 28 goals scored in a series of 5 games – the highest of all teams in the playoffs, while allowing only 15 – the second-best result among the current participants. Expect a lot of goals.
Dallas played against Vegas, and it was the toughest and least goal-rich series in the West. All the scored goals were literally "fought for", as a result, 16:16 in goals scored and allowed. But even in a matchup with such a tough opponent, the Texans had a solid 28.6% power play efficiency. Keeping up the level is their chance to win the series.
Interesting fact: the teams met in the playoffs in 2020 during the pandemic season and played without fans. Dallas won the seven-game series, with the seventh game going to overtime.
Projected lineups
Dallas: Oettinger – Heiskanen, Harley – Robertson, Hintz, Pavelski
Colorado: Georgiev – Toews, Makar – Nichushkin, MacKinnon, Rantanen
The home team will be missing Marchment and Hakanpaa, but they were also absent in the first round series. The "Avalanche" will miss Drouin, Kiviranta, Landeskog, and O’Connor – all of whom have not played in this playoff.
Goalies
Jake Oettinger (92.5%, 1.95 GAA) is among the top three goalies of the playoffs, maintaining his level throughout all seven games of the first round. Colorado's goalie, Alexandar Georgiev, on the other hand, is one of the worst statistically, with only 90% and 3.00 GAA, and several clear failures.
In conclusion, we note that Colorado's individual total of over 2.5 goals in the match is the best option for placing a bet. The "Avalanche" scored more than 3 goals in all playoff games and in all games against Dallas this season.
