There were eight goals scored in Game 1 of this series. There were seven goals produced in Game 2. Yet the oddsmaker still is hanging a 5 1/2 total on this matchup just like in the first two games.
That Over/Under is too short. 
Dallas has played aggressive in the playoffs. The Stars' top scorers have come alive helping Dallas produce five goals each during the first two games of the series. The Over is 5-0 in the Stars' last five games. Dallas is averaging 4.1 goals during its last seven games. 
The Stars can continue to take advantage of Colorado backup goalie Pavel Francouz.
Both teams are without their starting goalies as Dallas is missing Ben Bishop. 
Look for Colorado to come out super aggressive down 2-0 in the series. The Avalanche's calling card is offense. They ranked fourth in scoring during the regular season. They have the most talented scorer on the ice in Nathan MacKinnon. 
The Avalanche have scored three or more goals in 11 of their last 15 games. The Over is 4-1 in their past five games.
