The Vegas Golden Knights enter Game 4 with a chance to do the unthinkable, sweep the Colorado Avalanche out of the postseason. For a team many picked to win the Stanley Cup, the Avs are on the verge of going home short of expectations. Will Colorado keep their playoff hopes alive, or will Vegas get the brooms out and sweep them? Let’s go through the betting data, trends and odds for this elimination game.

Colorado Avalanche vs. Vegas Golden Knights Betting Analysis

Let’s start with what has burnt us the last two games in this series, the player props. Nathan MacKinnon has been the big let down in goal scoring this series. If you want to take him be our guest as he has scored in seven of nine playoff road games – but we will sadly move on from him as our best bet. Both Mark Stone and William Karlsson have scored in three of four home games vs Colorado for those looking to stay in the player prop market.

We also got burnt on the total in Game 3, as the Over has now hit in five of six meetings when playing inside T-Mobile. However, Vegas has seen six or less total goals in four of five games. The puck line belongs to Vegas, hitting it in nine of 10 meetings with Colorado and six straight games as the underdog. Vegas also owns the moneyline market, winning four straight games against Colorado along with six straight games against the Central Division.
