NHL Playoffs Odds: Avalanche-Oilers Game 4 prediction, odds and pick

The Colorado Avalanche are trying to advance to the Stanley Cup with a sweep of the Edmonton Oilers in Game 4. The Avalanche defeated the Oilers 4-2 in the Western Conference Finals. Connor McDavid scored the opening goal for Edmonton. Evander Kane hit Nazem Kadri head first into the boards. Kadi had to leave the game. Kane was suspended for one game for the incident.

The Avalanche has a chance to sweep the Oilers in the NHL playoffs. They have succeeded in this series mainly because they have contained McDavid and Draisaitl. The Avalanche allowed the Edmonton to score six goals in Game 1 and two goals combined in past two games. Colorado has outshot the team and won the faceoff. They blocked 13 shots on Saturday. Nathan Mackinnon has two goal and three assists in three games and Cale Makar has not scored in seven games in a row.

The Oilers need to play the best game possible and build on an early lead. They need McDavid and Draisaitl to be the stars and play smart hockey. The Oilers allowed the Avalanche to have five power-play opportunities and blocked only seven shots. They also failed to convert their two power play chances.

The money line for the Avalanche is enticing. The Oilers do not have the playmakers aside from McDavid and Draisaitl to stop the Colorado Avalanche.

Avalanche won the first round game against the Oilers.
