Colorado is scoring 4.8 goals per game, tied with Edmonton for the league lead, and its six games have averaged 8 total goals, tying Vancouver for the most. It has scored at least six goals in three of them: 8, 6, and 7. Four of the six games had at least seven goals. Dallas has scored 13 goals in six games, 30th in goals per game, and none of its six games has gone past five goals in total. Dallas is out without center Wyatt Johnston. Colorado is without defenseman Cale Makar, who has not played this season, and the Avalanche have allowed 19 goals in six games, 3.2 a game. Colorado’s three home games this season finished 12-7-9 goals. Last season, its home games reached seven or more goals 19 times in 41, against 12 in 41 on the road. The OVER is my play tonight.

Pro Picks
Colorado at Dallas
Colorado has won five of seven, but the Avalanche can't wait to redeem themselves after losing 8-6 to Vancouver, the team with the worst record in the NHL, on Wednesday. Mackenzie Blackwood started and allowed six goals before being replaced by Scott Wedgewood, who is the likely starter today. Wedgewood is 27-6-6 with a 2.19 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage with two shutouts this season. Colorado has won 10 of 11 road games, and perhaps it was looking ahead to this game while overlooking the Canucks. Dallas has lost six of eight, although it did get a 3-0 victory over Winnipeg on Thursday. The Stars have averaged only 2.60 goals in their past 10 games. Take the Avalanche.

Pro Picks
Colorado at Dallas
Dallas has won 10 games in a row while allowing only 2.3 goals per game. Casey DeSmith stopped 20 of 21 shots as the Stars beat Calgary 6-1 on Tuesday. Jake Oettinger is expected back in the net tonight, and he has a 2.67 goals-against average. Oettinger has won eight straight starts, and he has 38 saves on 41 shots in his past two games against Nashville and Vancouver. Colorado has also been getting good goaltending, and it is 5-2-1 UNDER in its past eight games while surrendering 1.9 goals per game. The Avalanche comes off a 5-1 win over Anaheim, and Scott Wedgewood made 27 saves. Mackenzie Blackwood is probable for this game, and he owns a 2.22 GAA and a .916 save percentage with three shutouts this season. Take the UNDER.
