Minnesota is a team that has made enormous progress over the past couple of years, turning from an NHL outsider into a competitor for high places, but now they have probably hit the iron ceiling. For the second year in a row, the Wild may fail according to the results of the first round of the playoffs, and they started the current cup season very well. Dean Evason's wards took the lead twice in the game with Dallas, but both times they missed the advantage. The day before, they lost in the fifth game of the series – 0:4. Kirill Kaprizov, who scored one point in five games, still cannot return to his standard level, and without him, there are not so many chances for Minnesota to succeed.
Dallas Stars
Dallas is an experienced team that sometimes lacks stability, but when they smell blood, they begin crushing opponents. The debut of the game with Minnesota did not work out for Peter DeBoer's wards, as they lost in the first game – 2:3, after which they took convincing revenge – 7:3. In the third match of the series, the Stars lost again – 1:5, but again found an acceptable answer – 3:2. The most crucial match was the day before, when the Texans showed all their might at home, defeating the competitor – 4:0. Now the Stars are one step away from the Western Conference semifinals, where they haven't played for a long time.
Expert Betting Tips
Minnesota has never played beyond the first round of the playoffs with its current lineup, which is now the main problem for the Wild. The leaders can play great in the regular season but can't win the season's important games for the second year. Dallas has many times more cup experience, so they were able to change the situation during the current series, becoming the opposition's favorite.
Dallas is an experienced and pragmatic team that does not consider it necessary to spend extra energy and emotions to achieve a positive result. In the six previous games, the Texans had 39 goals (6.50 on average per game).
