The pressure is on Calgary, down 2-1 in the series and playing Game 4 on the road. The Flames come off a 6-2 loss to Colorado getting outshot 56-29. Even though Calgary had a first-place finish, the team lacked elite goaltending and that weakness is showing, allowing nine goals the last two games. The Flames are 3-13 following a loss of three or more goals and face a confident Colorado squad on a 10-4 run. The Avalanche rank Top 10 in the NHL in goals scored and on the power play, 35-20 at home against teams converting 17.5%+ of their chances on the power play. The home team has taken four of the last five meetings and holds all the cards again. Play Colorado.
