Wild Minnesota
After four games, the series score between Minnesota and Dallas is 2-2. The teams won one away match. The previous fight took place in Minnesota and ended with the victory of the Texas team. The savages are not doing well. Moreover, both in attack and in defense. With great willingness and activity, the lack of effectiveness in the implementation of shooting opportunities is clearly visible. There are also difficulties on the last frontier. The Minnesota goalkeeping team is clearly behind Jake Oettinger, who reliably operates at the gates of Dallas. And in the playoffs, the role of the goalkeeper grows exponentially.
Dallas Stars
Dallas is more systematic than their first-round opponent. Realization of scoring opportunities, slightly better for the Texans. But this is not surprising. The Minnesota goalkeepers are taking their time to help their team. And Dallas has enough champions capable of deciding the fate of an episode. If that happens, Dallas will advance to the next round.
Forecast
After two games away from the confrontation, Dallas returns to the series at home, regaining the advantage of “his” serve. Despite losing one of their leaders (Pavelski) in the first game of the series, the Texas club looks a bit more “coordinated” than their rival. And as mentioned above, Minnesota’s “Achilles heel” in the current playoffs is goalkeeping. Before the fifth game of the series, Dallas is preferred.
