Colorado at Vegas

The oddsmakers keep making Vegas the underdog even though the Golden Knights are on the verge of a sweep in the Western Conference final after winning again, 5-3 in Game 3. The Avalanche jumped out to an early 3-0 lead, but the Knights came storming back with five goals in the next 40 minutes to take a commanding 3-0 series lead. They have won five in a row while allowing only seven goals, with Carter Hart coming up big since being acquired midseason. Hart has a 7.2 goals saved above expected rating in the playoffs, which is fourth best among all postseason netminders. Colorado has been left dazed and confused, unable to figure out how to respond on both sides of the ice. Cale Makar missed the first two games, and Nathan MacKinnon was severely hampered late in Game 3 after blocking a shot. Vegas is even healthier now that Mark Stone is back, and Stone made his presence known early on Sunday, scoring in his first action since Game 3 of the second round. The Knights won't let up in front of their home crowd in Game 4 tonight, and the Avalanche are in desperation mode. Take the Golden Knights on the puckline.
