#35 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Colorado Avalanche +110 over Dallas Stars, Tuesday at 9:30 PM ET - Stars off that grueling 7-game series with Vegas which just wrapped up on Sunday. The Avalanche, on the other hand, have been off for a week as they hammered the Jets in 4 wins after dropping the first game to Winnipeg. The Avalanche did allow too many goals in the first game of that series but that is inflating their defensive numbers. Since losing that first game they have allowed only 2 goals per game last 4 games! Also, the Avalanche have scored at least 5 goals in 6 straight games! Colorado has fresh skating legs and they have the edge in the offensive zone and will push the Stars back on their heels from the drop of the puck in this one. Last season the Stars were eliminated from the post-season by Vegas. The Golden Knights also went on to win the Stanley Cup last year. In other words, that victory over Vegas was a huge one for Dallas! They got revenge and they beat the defending champs and the series took 7 games and they had to rally from a 2-0 series deficit. When you analyze all these key factors plus the fact Dallas averaged only 2 goals in their last 6 games with Vegas while Colorado has practically been scoring at will, you can see why we like the Avalanche plenty in this spot. Huge situational edge with the rested Avs taking advantage of a worn-out Dallas team right out of the gate in this one. Colorado is the bet here.
