Same-Game Parlay Leg 1: OVER 6.5 Goals
A line of 6.5 goals is high for the playoffs, so you might think that taking the OVER here might be a little mad. But trust me, it isn't.
In the last seven meetings between these two, the total has gone OVER 6.5 goals six times! Keep in mind that since mid-January, Dallas has gone 15-7-1 (65%) against the UNDER at home.
There's just something about playing Colorado that brings out Dallas's offense. It's a goal fest when these two play each other. There are goals aplenty.
Same-Game Parlay Leg 2: OVER 1.5 Goals P1
How about this for some history: Since the 2018-19 season, the first-period total has eclipsed 1.5 goals in Avs vs Stars 19 times in 28 games. That's an excellent 68% hit rate. Heck, in five games this year the OVER is 5-0 in the first period.
It is absolute chaos in the first 20 minutes of Stars-Avalanche games and we are here for it with this play on the P1 total.
Same-Game Parlay Leg 3: Johnston OVER 2.5 SOG
Only Florida's Sam Reinhart has more shots on goal in these playoffs than Wyatt Johnston. His 29 shots on net so far amount to 3.6 per game (on average) in the postseason.
In his very young career, the sophomore NHLer has played Colorado eight times but averaged 2.6 shots on goal per game. Enough to see this leg hit. Focus on this year and he's averaged 3.2 shots on goal in five games against Colorado. Again, that's enough to see the leg hit.
