Vegas Golden Knights vs Colorado Avalanche Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Vegas Golden Knights
Before this series started, few would have expected the Golden Knights to cruise to a 3-0 lead, especially with the first two games being played at Ball Arena in Colorado.
But that’s exactly what has happened. Following a 5-3 win over the Avs, Vegas are now just 60 minutes away from reaching the 2026 Stanley Cup Finals. They’ll now have four opportunities to close out the series.
It’s hard to bet against the Golden Knights right now. Even though the Avalanche have shown the scoring ability to turn things around, their defensive play has been subpar.

The absence of Cale Makar has hurt the team, but Vegas are simply hitting their stride at the perfect time. They’ve scored 12 goals in the series and lead the postseason in goals per game with 3.73.
The biggest difference has come in goal. Scott Wedgewood owns a 3.16 GAA and a subpar .877 save percentage through his three appearances in the series, numbers that simply haven’t been good enough against a red-hot Vegas offence.
At the other end, the Golden Knights will send Carter Hart between the pipes. He has a 2.30 GAA and .923 save percentage in the playoffs, but those numbers improve to 2.00 and .942, respectively, in the series.

If we also factor in Nathan MacKinnon’s uncertain status after he sustained an injury in Game 3, all signs point toward the Golden Knights closing out the series. They’re expected to be the first team to reach the 2026 Stanley Cup Finals with a win in front of their fans.
Vegas Golden Knights vs Colorado Avalanche Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Pavel Dorofeyev over 0.5 goals
Dorofeyev has been one of the standout performers for the Golden Knights throughout the playoffs.
He’s only scored one goal in the current series, but with 10 goals in the postseason, it feels like only a matter of time before he finds the back of the net once again.
With a steady role on the top line at both even strength and on the power play, Dorofeyev should be one of the go-to scoring weapons for Vegas in the upcoming clash.
Vegas Golden Knights vs Colorado Avalanche Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Over 5.5 goals + Mitch Marner over 0.5 assists + Gabriel Landeskog over 0.5 assists
The Avalanche showed their offensive prowess in Game 3 when they scored three goals in the first period, and they could deliver a similar performance here with their season on the line.
With Colorado (third, 3.58) and Vegas (first, 3.73) both ranking in the top three in goals per game in the playoffs, this matchup has all the ingredients of another high-scoring affair.

If that’s the case, expect the star players to make their mark. Mitch Marner has been a key contributor for the Golden Knights and leads the team in the playoffs with 21 points in 15 outings, having recorded seven goals and 14 assists.
The Avs could rely on Gabriel Landeskog if MacKinnon doesn’t play, as Landeskog has tallied 10 points (five goals, five assists) in 12 appearances during the postseason run.
Vegas Golden Knights vs Colorado Avalanche Team News
Vegas Golden Knights Team News
The Golden Knights aren’t dealing with any major injury concerns. Given that they’ve won the first three games of the series, don’t expect head coach John Tortorella to make big changes to his lines.
The only absences are Jeremy Lauzon (upper body) and Alex Pietrangelo (hip), and neither will be available for the remainder of the series.
In fact, Pietrangelo has already been ruled out for the rest of the playoffs, while Lauzon might have an outside chance of playing in the 2026 Stanley Cup Finals.
Colorado Avalanche Team News
Colorado welcomed back Cale Makar in Game 3, so the star blueliner is expected to be available here. However, the biggest news for the Avalanche is the potential absence of MacKinnon.
The star centre sustained a lower-body injury on Sunday, and while he managed to finish the game, his status for Tuesday is uncertain.
Given what’s at stake, though, MacKinnon is likely to suit up even if he’s not 100% healthy. The same goes for Valeri Nichushkin, who’s dealing with a lower-body injury and will also be a game-time call. Both MacKinnon and Nichushkin should be top-six forwards if available.
