The Colorado Avalanche enter Game 4 in a closeout situation, grabbing the brooms for a possible sweep of the Los Angeles Kings. Will Colorado be able to closeout Los Angeles in just four games, as the Carolina Hurricanes did to the Ottawa Senators on Saturday? Let’s dive into all the trends, odds, betting data and insights for this do-or-die game for the Los Angeles Kings.

Colorado Avalanche vs. Los Angeles Kings Betting Analysis

Other than the five-game losing streak Los Angeles is currently on, the Kings have also lost 11 straight against the Avalanche when playing as underdogs. The Kings have also dropped the puck line in seven straight home games when facing Central Division clubs. Colorado has won 10 straight road games against Pacific Division clubs, while also winning eight of nine games overall. Needless to say, this is not looking good for L.A.

The Under hit in the first two games of the series, while Colorado is also on an 0-8 Under run when playing during the daytime. This is one of the rare times you can also get Nathan MacKinnon to score a goal for plus-money, usually minus-value to find the net. He has scored in five of six road games during the playoffs. The prop bet is our favorite, but if you prefer traditional markets then the puck line for Colorado has value.
