- UPDATE: Added a +215 anytime goal scorer pick & who will win prediction!
The Colorado Avalanche will look to stave off elimination with a road win over the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 4 tonight.
My top Avalanche vs. Golden Knights predictions and NHL picks call for just the opposite, with Vegas goalie Carter Hart doing the heavy lifting to sweep Colorado with a low-scoring win on Tuesday, May 26.
Puck drop is set for 9 p.m. ET from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with the game airing on ESPN and Sportsnet.
Avalanche vs Golden Knights Game 4 prediction
Who will win Avalanche vs Golden Knights Game 4?
Vegas Golden Knights: There has been no comparison between the two goalies through the first three games of the Western Conference Final.
Vegas starter Carter Hart sports a .942 save percentage with 3.74 goals saved above expected, while Colorado backup Mackenzie Blackwood is getting the start after last allowing three goals on 13 shots in Game 5 against Minnesota.
I’ll back Vegas with the superior play between the pipes, while Colorado stars Nathan MacKinnon (lower body), Cale Makar (upper body), and Valeri Nichushkin (lower body) are all dealing with injuries.
Avalanche vs Golden Knights best bet: Under 6.5 (-125)
I recommend the Under 6.5 to -130.
The Colorado Avalanche have lost the overall expected goals battle (46.9%). Vegas Golden Knights goalie Carter Hart has been lights-out with a .942 SV% and 4.57 goals saved above expected during the series.
Colorado has only scored four times at 5-on-5, and go-to scorers Nathan MacKinnon (lower body) and Valeri Nichushkin (lower body) are going to be hard to rely on after both missed today’s morning skate. Star defenseman Cale Makar is likely at less than 100%, too.
Vegas is allowing the lowest projected goal rate against this postseason, buying into head coach John Tortorella’s defensive system.

Avalanche vs Golden Knights Game 4 same-game parlay
Hart’s highlighted excellent play alongside the highlighted postseason-best defense from Vegas pave the way for the Golden Knights pulling off the sweep.
Turning to star center Jack Eichel, he’s recorded three or more shots in eight of 15 postseason games for a rock-solid 7.35 shots per 60 minutes, in addition to a 51.8% shot share at 5-on-5. He’s also ripe for statistical correction in the shots column after converting just three of his 11 attempts into shots (27.3%) the past two games.
Eichel converted 54.3% of his attempts into shots through the first 13 games of the postseason, after all.

Avalanche vs Golden Knights Game 4 goal scorer pick
Mitch Marner (+215)
Golden Knights winger Mitch Marner paces the club in individual expected goals and shot attempts through the first three games of the series without finding the back of the net, and his four high-danger scoring chances are also tied for the team-high mark.
Add Marner leading Vegas forwards in ice time while also skating with the No. 1 power-play unit, and he’s a prime candidate to score in Game 4. I’d play this prop to -190.
Avalanche vs Golden Knights odds for Game 4
- Moneyline: Avalanche -115 | Golden Knights -105
- Puck Line: Avalanche -1.5 (+210) | Golden Knights +1.5 (-270)
- Over/Under: Over 6.5 (+105) | Under 6.5 (-125)
