Dallas Stars (48-19-9) vs. Colorado Avalanche (48-22-6)
Dallas Stars vs. Colorado Avalanche 4/7/24 – With mere days left in the regular season, the faceoff on April 7, 2024, between the Dallas Stars and the Colorado Avalanche will be the marquee game soaked with premium game insights. Both teams are equally impressive and well-performing as they demonstrated by their nearly indistinguishable records. This clash at the Ball Arena promises to be more than just a game; it’s a battle for supremacy in the standings and a potential playoff preview, airing live on ESPN at 10:00 PM ET.
The Dallas Stars use a strong offense to tear the opposition and left wing Jason Robertson has 27 goals and 50 assists over 76 games. Robertson, together with center Joe Pavelski and Roope Hintz, has arguably been the face of the team in the 2020-2021 season. The Stars who are known for precision and power may pose a threat to the Avs defence that has developed some inconsistencies, especially in road fixtures where they’ve struggled against the spread.
To be in contrast, the Colorado Avalanche’s offensive team is equally impressive, and even more so, because of Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen’s fantastic performances. MacKinnon’s standouts with 127 points from 75 games and Rantanen’s 100 points are a point of pride for Colorado’s offensive depth and skill. For Colorado, their depth up front and the ability to go through the defensive barriers of the Stars’ netminder Jake Oettinger, who has been impressive in the pipes this season but will be thoroughly tested by Colorado’s flying forwards, is going to be the main difference in the series with Dallas.

Goaltender Jake Oettinger vs. Goaltender Alexandar Georgiev
Jake Oettinger has been undeniably the backbone of the Stars with his performance of 49 games and a well-deserved save portion of .903. While his stamina and accuracy during shootouts is always of importance, this case will be no different because the Avs are a run-and-gun team. In order for FCD to get into the winning bracket, Oettinger must have an outstanding game, which demands him to make game-changing saves.
Alexandar Georgiev also performed well for the Avalanche with a record of 37 wins in 58 appearances and a .901 save percentage very similar to Oettinger’s performance. Georgiev facing the Stars’ attack in the shootout will be very important, more so because of the way he is in the shootout. In the end, the game’s outcome may depend on him. His blocking opportunities against prominent defensemen can be the deciding factor.
NHL Odds/Point Spread: TBD, Total Odds: TBD

Dallas Stars Betting Trends
In the last 5 games, the Stars have demonstrated a solid play, winning 4 of them. Road games seem not to be managed by them in a consistent manner, which often contradicts betting scenarios. The preference for higher-scoring games might put bettors in a favorable position to the OVER as far as the total points is concerned.
Colorado Avalanche Betting Trends
The Avalanche also have an impressive track record in their recent contests with the games often going over the total points line. However, the offensive power of this team gives bettors a chance to invest in high scoring games despite poor performance against the spread when playing on the road.
Dallas Stars vs. Colorado Avalanche 4/7/24 Betting Picks
With their offensive talents and the performances of both goalies this season, a tightly-fought clash is very much on the cards. The final score may likely be the result of which team can benefit most from power play chances, and efficiently control their defensive tactics.
Considering the tendencies of the teams and their capabilities, a slight advantage may be given to the Avalanche owing to their home-ice advantage and offensive brilliance. They have a strong team bond, and the way they play, their overall team tactics should not be undervalued. One should look for opportunities in prop bets about the key players and place bets on the OVER for total points as both teams are offensive powerhouses.
This prediction leans on the Avalanche’s home advantage and offensive edge but acknowledges the tight competition likely to be seen, underscoring the value of zero-chargeNHL insights for bettors seeking informed betting decisions.
