Stars ML (+114)
The 2 head coaches in this matchup have very different records in Game 7’s in their respective careers. Dallas head coach Peter DeBoer is a perfect 8-0 in his career in Game 7’s. On the other side, Colorado head coach Jared Bednar is 0-3. Experience matters at this point in the postseason, and DeBoer seems to have the formula for Game 7 success. It’s also worth noting that DeBoer is 3-0 in playoff series against the Avalanche, and the Avalanche have never won a Game 7 on the road since moving to Colorado from Quebec in 1995.
Dallas is playing at home, where a packed American Airlines Center full of 20,000 fans will be behind them. The Stars won Games 2 and 5 on home ice, and the home crowd could play a factor in generating momentum tonight. Even without Jason Robertson in the lineup, Dallas has been able to score goals in bunches thanks to their fantastic scoring depth. Mikko Rantanen leads the Stars with 8 points in the series, and a total of 16 players have found the score sheet. Look for Dallas’ scoring depth to lead them to a Game 7 victory on home ice.
Nathan MacKinnon over 4.5 shots on goal (+100)
It’s no secret that superstar forward Nathan MacKinnon likes to shoot the puck. He led the NHL in shots on goal during the regular season with 320, which marked the fourth time in his career that he paced the league in shots. He has fired 33 shots on goal so far in the postseason, which also leads the NHL and is good for an average of 5.5 shots on goal per game. He fired just 2 shots on goal in Thursday’s Game 6 win, but it would be a bit surprising to see a low shot total from MacKinnon again in this one. He’s scored a goal in 3 straight games, and with the stakes so high, look for MacKinnon to come out firing in Game 7.
Mikko Rantanen over 2.5 shots on goal (+100)
Going up against his former team once again, Dallas’ Mikko Rantanen could be aggressive offensively tonight as well. Rantanen is second on the Stars with 20 shots on goal so far in this series, and has fired 3+ shots on goal in 4 of the 6 games. He collected 4 points in Game 6, but fired just 2 shots on goal. He has goals in back-to-back games, and if the Stars are going to be victorious, Rantanen figures to be involved. At +100 odds, Rantanen collecting 3 shots on goal seems within the realm of possibility.
