Colorado Avalanche vs. Dallas Stars
Wednesday, May 15, 2024 – 08:00 PM ET at American Airlines Center
Overtime Possible in Dallas
The first game of this series went to overtime and we have yet to see another in the next three games. With it being all on the line tonight and for the rest of the series, we believe tonight’s game has a good chance of going into overtime.
Both these teams are as strong as each other, the Avalanche just haven’t proved it yet. Colorado has only scored twice in the previous two games, so tonight, we expect them to come out swinging.
We were pleasantly surprised to see we could get odds as high as +350 for the tie tonight, we would happily bet this down to around +300.
In Stanley Cup futures, we look at the odds for teams as top contenders vie for hockey glory.
