T.M. Selection: Avalanche (10* GAME OF THE WEEK).

I like Colorado to fight tooth and nail here and extend this series after last night's 5-4 loss to the Stars. Dallas has exceeded everyone's expectations to this point, and I'm sure even its own. The Stars are primed for a classic letdown here in my opinion (note that Dallas is a poor 2-7 in its last nine after a four-games or longer unbeaten streak and just 3-6 in its lats nine after allowing four or more goals in a victory in its last outing. Expect the desperate Avlanche to take advantage and find a way to deliver at the end of the night!

T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Avs.
