Dallas won the regular season and was the number one seed in the playoffs, but in 1/8 they barely managed to get past Vegas, winning the series 4-3. Although Dallas played poorly only at the beginning of the playoffs, with each game gaining familiar form.
Colorado had enough 5 games to pass Winnipeg in the 1/8 playoffs, with the team losing only in the first meeting, which ended with a score of 7-6. Although Winnipeg is a fairly young team that has only recently started getting into the Stanley Cup, having no successful playoff experience before.
There is no clear favourite in this pairing, and no one has an advantage in head-to-head meetings either, but Dallas plays more confidently at American Airlines Center.
Prediction: Dallas to win. We recommend the “Match Winner 1” bet, odds 1.84
