The Colorado Avalanche look to even their NHL Western Conference semifinals best of seven series with the Dallas Stars in Game 6 and force a deciding Game 7. Colorado defeated Dallas 6-3 in Game 5 and now trails 3-2 in the series. Colorado scored five goals during the first period and coasted to the victory to avoid elimination. The Avalanche led 5-0 after one and 6-1 after two in the lopsided win.
Center Nathan MacKinnon is leading Colorado in goals scored with eight, in assists with 15 and in points with 23. Mikko Rantanen is second in points with 18, while Nazim Kadri is tied with MacKinnon in goals scored with eight. In goal, Pavel Francouz is 2-4 with a goals-against average of 3.23 and save percentage of .892.
Dallas must put its embarrassing 6-goal loss in Game 5 behind them when they take the ice on Wednesday. Ben Bishop started in goal for the Stars and gave up four goals prior to being replaced with over six minutes remaining in the first period by Anton Khudobin even though Khudobin was considered unfit to play following the team's morning skate. Joe Pavelski, Miro Heiskanen and Jamie Benn scored in the loss for Dallas.

While the OVER is a solid choice for Game 6, the play here is Dallas. The Stars were embarrassed in Game 5 losing 7-1 and will use that as an incentive to come back with a strong outing in Game 6.
