Colorado Avalanche vs Vegas Golden Knights Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 05/24/26

Just like that, Game 3 between the Colorado Avalanche and Vegas Golden Knights is set for puck drop on Sunday. The President’s Trophy winner Avalanche have quickly found themselves down 0-2 in the series and have plenty of work to do. We are here to get you set for an all-important Game 3 with our expert Avalanche vs. Golden Knights prediction.

Vegas has shown no issues scoring in this series. In 2 games, they have accumulated 7 goals (3.5 per game) and have averaged 25.5 shots per game. With an overall 3.64 goals per game average and a strong 24.4% power play, I expect them to continue their offensive swagger in this one. The difference this time is that I expect Colorado to at least match, if not surpass these offensive numbers. Even with a minuscule number of goals this series (3), Colorado also owns a 3.64 goals per game average. They are in dire straits and in desperate need of a win, so a maximum effort is required in this one.

Colorado should be able to find some offensive momentum quickly and begin to show themselves as the offensive leader they were in the regular season (3.63 goals per game). The likes of Nathan MacKinnon, Martin Necas, etc. won’t let this explosive team go down without a fight. In what should be a back-and-forth affair, take over 6.0 for our Avalanche vs. Golden Knights prediction.
