Colorado Avalanche vs Los Angeles Kings Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 04/26/26

Game 4 between the Colorado Avalanche and Los Angeles Kings are here, as the Avalanche look for the first-round sweep. The veteran Kings clawed their way to a playoff spot, but are on the verge of it meaning nothing. Can they give their home crowd at least one playoff win? Our Avalanche vs. Kings prediction will offer our own view.

Los Angeles hasn’t been terrible per say, but their sound defense (2.67 goals against average) and excellent special teams (100% penalty kill ; 23.1% power play) just haven’t been enough. The expectation going in was no matter how solid the Kings could be, the Avalanche would just be better. A main reason for this would be a highly-questionable Kings offense. That is exactly what has happened this series, and I expect it to continue in Game 4. Colorado hasn’t been all-worldly this series, but they know how to find a way to win, which makes all the difference. Playing on the road is no issue for them, as shown in their first multi-goal win in the series in Game 3 in Los Angeles. This three-game winning streak from Colorado has come with a 0% power play, and just three combined points from Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, and Martin Necas. This just proves what a deep, well-balanced, and well-coached team they are.

The Kings won’t go down easy, and could take this to overtime, but I see the Avalanche completing the sweep. Take Colorado on the money line for our Avalanche vs. Kings prediction.
