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

The Golden Knights are looking to close out the Colorado Avalanche and earn a trip to the Stanley Cup Final on Tuesday night. Vegas should feel pretty good about its chances of earning the sweep, as Colorado was dealt a crushing blow in Game 3. The Avalanche led 3-0 after the 1st period and looked well on their way to making this a 2-1 series. Colorado was previously 74-1 in franchise postseason history when leading by 3+ goals, but Vegas mounted an incredible comeback that saw them claim a 5-3 victory. It was an incredibly deflating loss for the Avs, who are now faced with an 0-3 hole in the conference finals after going 8-1 over the first 2 rounds. With Colorado’s morale at an all-time low, look for Vegas to keep its foot on the gas.

The sudden head coaching change to John Tortorella is paying dividends in a big way for the Golden Knights. Vegas is now 18-4-1 with Tortorella at the helm, and his team is playing with an immense amount of confidence. Vegas has been strong on home ice all season long, owning a record of 25-14-9 at T-Mobile Arena. In the postseason, the Golden Knights are 5-2 on home ice, and with a chance to wrap up the series without heading back to Denver, Vegas seems to be in a great spot here. Look for the Golden Knights to complete the sweep.
