Can the Avalanche send the series to seven in NHL 24?
Another entry into our NHL 24 simulation series, today we simulated Game 6 of the Colorado Avalanche versus Dallas Stars series.
Our series simulation had Colorado taking the series in five games, while Dallas won our Game 5 simulation.
The Avalanche were able to bring the series to a seventh game in this simulation, scoring with 17 second left to secure the win.
With Roope Hintz not playing in Game 6 and the suspension of Valeri Nichushkin here is how the lines stack up for both teams.
Colorado's Projected Lines:
Lehkonen - MacKinnon - Drouin
Parise - Mittelstadt - Rantanen
Wood - Colton - Kiviranta
Duhaime - Trenin - Cogliano
Toews - Makar
Girard - Manson
Johnson - Walker
Georgiev - Annunen
Dallas' Projected Lines:
Benn - Johnston - Stankoven
Robertson - Duchene - Pavelski
Marchment - Seguin - Dadonov
Faksa - Steel - Smith
Harley - Heiskanen
Lindell - Tanev
Suter - Lundkvist
Oettinger - Wedgewood

The Avalanche's first line was generating offense all night and were rewarded with goals from Nathan MacKinnon and Jonathan Drouin. Cale Makar notched two assists on nearly identical slapshots from the point.
Logan Stankoven continued his stellar play, burying a rebound on a great play from Wyatt Johnston.
Jake Oettinger and Alexandar Georgiev both played well, Oettinger kept his team in it early in the third.
