Dallas Stars vs. Colorado Avalanche Game 6 betting pick and predictions

The Dallas Stars are one win away from advancing to the second round of the NHL Playoffs after cruising to a 6-2 victory over the Colorado Avalanche in Game 5 on Monday. Dallas jumped out to an early 3-0 lead thanks to goals from Wyatt Johnston, Thomas Harley, and Mikko Rantanen, and then held off a Colorado surge in the second period to secure the victory.

Avalanche goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood was pulled in favor of Scott Wedgewood in Game 4 after making just 13 saves on 18 shots. Blackwood had been outstanding for the Avs prior to Game 5, and he still ranks fourth in the league this postseason with 4.4 Goals Saved Above Expected. Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger ranks just behind Blackwood in fifth with 2.9 Goals Saved Above Expected.

From a player props perspective, Blackwood’s saves line of 22.5 is enticing at -120 odds. He’s surpassed that mark in four of the five games in this series, averaging 24 saves during that span with a median of 23. You can bet Dallas will be throwing everything at the Colorado net in an attempt to keep this series from extending to a do-or-die Game 7.

Nathan MacKinnon leads all scorers in this series with seven points (five goals, two assists) across five games. The Avalanche forward should see some extra heavy usage on Thursday with his team’s back against the wall, and bettors can grab him at +110 odds to score a goal, which he’s done in four of the five games in this series.

Both of the previous two games played at high altitude in this series in Colorado went under the posted totals (4-0 Dallas in Game 4, 2-1 Colorado in Game 3), and bettors should expect another tight, low-scoring affair in Game 6.

Pick: Under 6.0 Total Goals (-110)
