| NHL | (33) Los Angeles Kings at (34) Colorado Avalanche: Spread | 3:00pm EDT - Apr 19/2026 |
The PLAY: Los Angeles Kings +1.5 (-114)
The Avalanche are listed as heavy favorites on the money-line. As a result, we're able to get an extra +1.5 goals with the Kings on the puck-line, without breaking the bank. I feel that's where the value lies in this game. Yes, the Avs are very strong, particularly on home ice. However, they've got all the pressure on them. Expected to lose, the Kings have no pressure at all. They've been stronger on the road all season. The Kings had more OT/SO losses, all of which obviously came by one goal, than any team in the league this season. Let's grab the +1.5 goals with Kings on the puck-line. *good up to +1.5 -125
