The Dallas Stars (2-3) visit the Colorado Avalanche (4-2) on Wednesday, October 14, 2026. The Avalanche have a better record, showing a stronger start to the season. Colorado is favored at home with moneyline odds of -148, meaning a $148 bet would win $100. Dallas is the underdog at +124, so a $100 bet would win $124 if they pull off the upset.
Looking at the spread, the Avalanche are favored by 1.5 goals at -164. This means Colorado needs to win by at least two goals for a bet on them to pay off. On the other hand, Dallas has +1.5 goals at -198, so a bet on the Stars wins if they lose by only one goal or win outright. The heavier juice on Dallas’s spread suggests the sportsbook views this as a tougher cover for the visitors.
The total is set at 5.5 goals, with the over priced at -135 and the under at +114. This implies the sportsbook expects a moderately high-scoring game but leans slightly towards the underdog Stars keeping the scoring in check.
In summary, Colorado looks like the safer bet to win outright, but the spread offers value if you believe Dallas can keep it close. The total suggests a game with around five to six goals, so consider your preference between a moderately scoring contest or a tighter defensive battle.
