Oilers vs Avalanche picks, odds: Expert predictions for Game 4 of NHL Western Conference final

The Colorado Avalanche are a game away from making the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 2011, but Evander Kane’s hit on Nazem Kadri has been a major talking point in the Western Conference final since it happened early in the first period of Game 3. Kadri is out for the rest of the series and Kane has been suspended for Game 4.

The Oilers scored in the first minute of the game, but Kane’s hit came right after and he was given a five-minute major for boarding. The Avalanche tied the game during the first period and never trailed again. Will any tension from that hit carry over to Game 4?

Edmonton will be desperate with a 3-0 series deficit. Colorado looks to advance to the cup final for the first time with this group of superstars.

Game 3: Avalanche 4, Oilers 2 | Colorado leads 3-0

Recap by Harman Dayal

What was the key? Colorado came out of a difficult first period on even terms.

Edmonton had a dream start with Connor McDavid scoring less than a minute in Rogers Place, which has been a fortress for the Oilers in these playoffs, which was roaring. Kane’s hit on Kadri sucked some of the momentum and life out of the building, even though Colorado failed to convert on the five-minute power play. The Avs were bending a little bit as they generated just one five-on-five shot in the opening frame (which just so happened to be Valeri Nichuskin’s goal), but they didn’t break and had a fantastic penalty kill at the end of the period to preserve the tied score.

Everybody in hockey will tell you that the first period on the road is the toughest storm to weather. It was huge for Colorado to make it past that on even terms despite McDavid’s early goal. That set the table for the Avs to settle in and find their game through the final 40 minutes.

Key stat: Colorado scored three goals and allowed just one when McDavid was on the ice at five-on-five.

With Kadri injured and Andre Burakovsky already out, the Avs’ formidable forward depth wasn’t as big of an advantage anymore — Edmonton now had a greater chance of holding serve in its non-McDavid minutes. That put even more pressure on Colorado to contain McDavid, and it did one better by winning the matchup.

How did the Avs do it?

Devon Toews, Cale Makar and Bowen Byram were fantastic on the back end. Nichushkin also spent 8:10 head-to-head against McDavid at five-on-five in which Colorado held an 8-3 edge in shots and 2-0 advantage in goals.

Oilers worry meter: 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯… Down 3-0 against this juggernaut Avalanche team is a very scary spot to be.

Avalanche worry meter: 🤠… Colorado continues dominating on the road and is 11-2 in the postseason.
