| NHL | (75) Colorado Avalanche at (76) Los Angeles Kings: Spread | 10:00pm EDT - Apr 23/2026 |
The PLAY: Los Angeles Kings +1.5 (-180)
The first two games of this series both finished with identical 2-1 scores. In both cases, we backed the Kings on the puck-line, at +1.5 goals. Those first two games were at Colorado. With Game 3 at LA and the Kings essentially in a must-win situation, we have to pay more to get those extra +1.5 goals. Still, given the situation, I feel that the extra cost is warranted
Here's an excerpt from what I said before the first two games: "...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 ... The Kings had more OT/SO losses, all of which obviously came by one goal, than any team in the league this season." Grab the +1.5 goals with Kings on the puck-line and consider a small amount on LA on the ML.
