Tonight we pivot back to Vegas where the VGK have firm grip on their series versus the AVALANCHE. They have a nearly insurmountable 3-0 lead in their series. In the history of the NHL only 4 teams have come back in a series after going down 3-0. Those are the odds the AVALANCHE are facing this evening on the Strip. The last team to do that were the LA KINGS in 2014 versus San Jose. THAT is what the AVS are up against this evening. In Game 3 Cale Makar made his return to the series, but star Nathan MacKinnon came up lame after taking a shot to his knee blocking a shot. IF he plays this evening, will his play be diminished? RW Valeri Nichushkin is also a member of the walking wounded, and he will also be a gametime decision. For Vegas Captain Mark Stone is back on the ice. It is hard to imagine the VGK not taking advantage of what is being handed to them.
Today’s PICK — Vegas GOLDEN KNIGHTS -105 — WIN
