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.
