Colorado Avalanche vs Dallas Stars Team News & Key Leaders
Colorado Avalanche
Avalanche will be without Jonathan Drouin (lower body), while defenseman Devon Toews (undisclosed) is questionable. RW Logan O'Connor (hip) and LW Gabriel Landeskog (knee) are both out for the season.
Colorado fell flat at home in Game 3 and they were unable to mount the kind of comeback that we saw in the first two games of the series. The hosts put a lacklustre offensive performance last time out, as they managed only one goal, from Mikko Rantanen, and lost 4-1 to fall to 1-2 in the series.
Goaltender Alexandar Georgiev made 19 saves for the Avalanche, who had a 29-23 advantage in shots on goal, in the defeat. He will be the likely starter between the pipes again on Monday.
Dallas Stars
Jani Hakanpaa (lower body) and Mason Marchment (undisclosed) have been ruled out of this match.
The Stars are one of the most well-balanced sides left in the playoffs, and even against the potent offense of Colorado, they have managed to keep them at bay. On the road so far in the playoffs, Dallas have put together a 3-1 record with just seven goals allowed in those four games.
The young trio of Wyatt Johnston, Jason Robertson, and Miro Heiskanen has led the way for Dallas in the playoffs thus far, while Oettinger has performed admirably in goal with a 2.12 GAA and a.919 save percentage. Last time out, Oettinger stole the show, allowing just one goal on 29 shots while Tyler Seguin brace led the way to a 4-1 victory.
