Vegas Golden Knights at Colorado Avalanche
Avalanche's elite core overcomes key injuries to exploit Vegas's defensive vulnerabilities at home
The pick: Colorado Avalanche -1.5 at +184 (FanDuel)
Lost. Final: Vegas Golden Knights 3, Colorado Avalanche 2.
Despite missing Kadri and Makar, Colorado's top-line talent with MacKinnon and Landeskog creates matchup advantages against Vegas's defense. The Avalanche's superior goaltending and home ice will control game flow, while Vegas's injury-depleted center depth struggles against Colorado's remaining offensive weapons.
