The Cowboys did not perform as steadily after the restart of the season as the fans would like, but the team can be understood, since the long streak did not help much. Ricky Carlisle’s guys made it to the playoffs from seventh place in the Western Conference and hit a very tough opponent in the Clippers. The team began the streak with a defeat (110-118), but all the time they found the strength to win back, this was the case in the third and fourth fights. Dallas did everything right, but in the last meeting they failed completely. Players did not keep up with the sailing ships at all, so they were defeated (111-154). Such a performance clearly showed what is the difference now between opponents.
Colorado had a disciplined streak against Arizona and looked like the favorite against Dallas. However, in the first match the Avalanches suffered a huge loss, as goalkeeper Philip Grubauer was injured. Because of this, Jared Bednar had to release Pavel Franzouz on the ice, who, to put it mildly, does not cope with his duties and is not in the best shape. The team is now in a difficult position and in case of defeat in the upcoming match, it may lose its chances of reaching the next round. That is why it needs to make every effort and get victory, in order to give hope at least to its fans. However, it will be almost impossible to cope with such a game in defense and in attack with Dallas. So, what is the free prediction for the NHL match for today?
