Colorado didn't expect to be in this position after winning Game 1, but they have been stymied by a hot goaltender in Jake Oettinger, who made 24 saves on Monday as the Stars took a 3-1 series lead with a 5-1 victory. Colorado appeared to be shaken by the loss of Valero Nichushkin, the team's leading goal scorer (nine) in this year's playoffs, who is suspended for at least six months. However, the Avalanche have plenty of experience in the postseason and will have a day to adjust for this must-win contest. Dallas is 6-0 UNDER after scoring five or more goals its previous game and the Stars are 6-3-1 UNDER their past 10 games overall. Dallas is just 3-3 at home in this year's playoffs. Take the Avalanche as a Max Play, and bet this game to stay UNDER.
