The Colorado Avalanche come into tonight’s matchup with Vegas on a bit of a downer, dropping two in a row against the Blues in the previous series. The Golden Knights are welcoming the Avalanche into their building riding a nine game winning streak with their last loss coming against the Blues back on April 7th. On the strength of their red-hot form, Vegas is now in the driver’s seat for top seed in the Honda West division, leading Colorado by four points.
That positions tonight as a critical matchup for both teams, as Colorado would find a six point gap with nine games left to play and only a May 10th matchup with Vegas remaining.
