Dallas at Colorado

Colorado has won four of the last five meetings, including 3-2 on Nov. 24 and both teams are trying to snap three-game losing streaks. The Avalanche lost 4-3 in overtime at St. Louis on Friday night when Ryan O'Reilly scored a short-handed goal 2:05 into overtime. Philipp Grubauer had 24 saves for Colorado, but Semyon Varlamov will be back in goal tonight and he owns a .916 save percentage and 2.71 goals-against average with a 10-7-3 record. Dallas has allowed 13 goals its last three games and comes off a 3-2 defeat at San Jose and the Stars will be playing their fourth road game in seven days. The Stars are 3-11 the last 14 meetings at Colorado and the home team has won nine of the last 12 meetings. Take the Avalanche.
