Nathan MacKinnon is one of the league’s most productive players, and he always takes it up a notch against Dallas.
My Avalanche vs. Stars predictions expect the trigger-happy MacKinnon to find the net against his division rival for the sixth consecutive game.
Let’s break down my NHL picks for Friday, March 6.
Avalanche vs Stars prediction
Avalanche vs Stars best bet: Nathan MacKinnon anytime goal (-110)
Nathan MacKinnon has piled up the shots since returning from the Olympics, generating 25 shots on goal and 36 attempts over four games.
The volume should remain strong against the Dallas Stars, a division rival he’s excelled against over the years. He's generated 50 shots on target over his past 10 meetings with Dallas and scored in seven of the last eight.
With consistently strong shot outputs and the highest conversion rate of his career (15.2%), MacKinnon is a big threat to score.

Avalanche vs Stars same-game parlay
Colorado Avalanche forward Martin Necas has picked up a point in eight of the last nine games in which MacKinnon scored.
Necas helps facilitate a lot of MacKinnon’s shot volume at 5-on-5 and on the power play, making the two players strongly correlated.
Mavrik Bourque has played six games without both Tyler Seguin and Mikko Rantanen in the lineup. He’s registered multiple shots on goal in each, averaging 3.7 shots on 5.0 attempts.
He’s an efficient, shoot-first player who has benefited greatly from an increase in usage.
