Colorado improved its depth this season and had a winning road record. Nathan MacKinnon leads an offense that is sixth in goals scored, 11th in shooting percentage, and eighth on the power play. The defense is 11th in goals allowed (2.82 per game). Meanwhile, Dallas is 17th on the power play without leading goal-scorer Jason Robertson. He will miss Game 1 after suffering an injury in the regular-season finale. In addition, Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen's back is banged up and may not play. Colorado won two of the three meetings this season, winning the last two meetings by a 10-6 count. Play Colorado.
