Avalanche vs. Kings Prediction
Game 3 already offered six goals in the Avalanche's 4-2 victory, and with Colorado holding a clear advantage, there's no issue in taking risks here to try to finish the series off.
On the other side, there's no need for caution on the Kings' part, as they face elimination and will have to go all out in attack.
During the regular season, these teams met three times, and two of those contests went over today's line with six and seven goals scored.
Best Bet: Over 5.5 (-118, DraftKings)
