The Stars and Avalanche have met in the last two postseasons, with Dallas edging out Colorado both times. These Western Conference powers could be on a collision course once again and home ice will be a factor, making Wednesday's game that much more pivotal. Dallas is 8-1-1 in its last 10 games to come within three points of Colorado in the Central Division. It is a +130 underdog on Wednesday night, while Colorado is -145. The Avalanche have won six of their last 10 but enter this contest on a two-game losing streak.
