Dallas is considered as an outsider in all fights with “Colorado”, but in fact, it does not deserve this status. The team began to play well in the attack and fully compensate for their failures in defense. Yes, in the last match they were unable to beat the opponent and conceded too many goals in the starting period (3:6), but in previous meetings, the Stars distinguished themselves by five goals three times and earned victory. By the way, for some reason, Rick Bowness decided to put Ben Bishop on the last match, who was replaced by Anton Khudobin after 14 minutes of the game. With a high degree of probability, it is the Russian who will start the upcoming match at the goal.
Vancouver squeezed out almost the maximum out of themselves this season and went far enough in the playoff bracket. The team experienced many squad problems during the regular season, but still managed to get through matches and even beat the reigning Stanley Cup champion. Of course, the Canucks have huge problems on the defence, which they are trying to smooth out through the attack, but in fights with Vegas, they do not have much of a chance of rehabilitation. Travis Green’s wards do not reveal the opponent’s defense more than three times, but themselves they miss a lot more, so they are unlikely to come up with something in this regard. So, what is the free prediction for the NHL match for today?
