Forget perception. The Stars are far more offensive-minded in the playoffs. Veterans Tyler Seguin, Jamie Benn and Alexander Radulov have all stepped up. The result has been the Stars averaging four goals during their last six games. 
Colorado's major strength is its fourth-ranked offense. Look for the Avalanche to step up their attack after losing, 5-3, in Game 1 of this series this past Saturday. The Avalanche lost starting goalie Philipp Grubauer and veteran defenseman Erik Johnson to injuries in that game. Neither is expected to play here. 
The Stars remain without their stud goalie, Ben Bishop. There's a huge drop from Bishop to backup goalie Anton Khudobin.
