Nathan MacKinnon is one of the league\u2019s most productive players, and he always takes it up a notch against Dallas.<\/p>\n

My Avalanche vs. Stars predictions expect the trigger-happy MacKinnon to find the net against his division rival for the sixth consecutive game.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s break down my NHL picks<\/a> for Friday, March 6.<\/p>\n

Avalanche vs Stars prediction<\/p>\n

Avalanche vs Stars best bet: Nathan MacKinnon anytime goal (-110)<\/p>\n

Nathan MacKinnon<\/a> has piled up the shots since returning from the Olympics, generating 25 shots on goal and 36 attempts over four games.<\/p>\n

The volume should remain strong against the Dallas Stars<\/a>, a division rival he\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

With consistently strong shot outputs and the highest conversion rate of his career (15.2%), MacKinnon is a big threat to score.<\/p>\n

Avalanche vs Stars same-game parlay<\/p>\n

Colorado Avalanche<\/a> forward\u00a0Martin Necas<\/a> has picked up a point in eight of the last nine games in which MacKinnon scored.<\/p>\n

Necas helps facilitate a lot of MacKinnon\u2019s shot volume at 5-on-5 and on the power play, making the two players strongly correlated.<\/p>\n

Mavrik Bourque<\/a> has played six games without both Tyler Seguin and Mikko Rantanen in the lineup. He\u2019s registered multiple shots on goal in each, averaging 3.7 shots on 5.0 attempts.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s an efficient, shoot-first player who has benefited greatly from an increase in usage.<\/p>\n
