Will Colorado tie the series up and make it a best-of-three? Simulating Game 4 in NHL 24 Our series simulation [https://thehockeynews.com/gaming/latest-news/colorado-avalanche-vs-dallas-stars-series-prediction] predicted Colorado winning in five games. Well, seeing as Dallas leads the series 2-1 in real life, I don't think NHL 24 can be correct in their prediction. Dallas Head Coach told the media they will be icing the same lineup they have used in Games 2 & 3. DALLAS' PROJECTED LINES: Robertson - Hintz - Stankoven Benn - Johnston - Pavelski Marchment - Duchene - Seguin Dadonov - Steel - Smith Harley - Heiskanen Lindell - Tanev Suter - Lundkvist Oettinger Wedgewood The Avalanche could be getting reinforcements for tonight's game with Jonathan Drouin making his playoffs debut. Head Coach Jared Bednar didn't officially announce Drouin's return to the lineup, but he took the ice in a PP1 jersey at morning skate and looks primed to make his return. COLORADO'S PROJECTED LINES: Drouin - MacKinnon - Rantanen Lehkonen - Mittelstadt - Nichushkin Wood - Colton - Parise Duhaime - Trenin - Cogliano Toews - Makar Girard - Manson Johnson - Walker Georgiev Annunen Colorado dominated the simulation outshooting Dallas 39-25 and winning Game 4 by a score of 4-2. Who else but Nathan MacKinnon to lead the way even in a video game simulation. MacKinnon finished with two goals and three points. His Halifax Moosehead teammate Jonathan Drouin factored in on both of his goals for a two-assist performance in his return to the lineup. Matt Duchene and Nils Lundkvist scored the two goals for the Stars and Jason Robertson was held off the scoresheet but registered a game-high eight shots. Jake Oettinger was pulled in the third period after allowing four goals on 33 shots. An interesting CPU coaching decision that I'm sure would not play out well in real life. Puck drop for Game 4 is 9:30pm EST where the home team Avs will look to even up the series while Dallas hopes to head back home for Game 5 with a chance to advance.
