Avalanche vs. Golden Knights prediction, odds: 2026 NHL Western Conference Finals Game 4 picks

The Vegas Golden Knights have the Colorado Avalanche on the brink of elimination after staging a three-goal comeback in Game 3 to win 5-3.

No team in NHL history has ever come back from being down 3-0 in the conference finals (0-49). 

Face-off from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas is set for 9 p.m. ET. Colorado is the -115 favorite (risk $115 to win $100) in the latest Golden Knights vs. Avalanche odds, with Vegas priced as the -105 underdogs (risk $105 to win $100). The over/under for total goals scored is 6.
