Despite playing structured, defensively sound hockey for stretches, Los Angeles has struggled to finish chances, managing just two goals per game while Colorado has been more opportunistic.
Key goals from Gabriel Landeskog and Cale Makar helped swing Game 3 in a 4-2 decision, while the Kings’ offense couldn’t generate enough at even strength.
Considering history and the lack of offense, a comeback is highly unlikely. The Kings are the worst team in the playoffs in 5-on-5 expected goals rate while the Avalanche are ranked No. 1.
