Avalanche vs Golden Knights — Matchup Breakdown
Colorado’s top line still tilts the ice, but Vegas has muted rush chances at home, winning neutral-zone touches and forcing dump-ins. The Knights’ bottom-six has quietly driven expected-goals share, giving Bruce Cassidy favorable second and third matchups. Special teams are near a wash; the small swing is Vegas’ ability to stay out of the box against a lethal Avs PP.
Goaltending form favors the hosts: vegas has banked steadier goals-saved-above-expected at home this month, while Colorado’s backup usage on short rest has been volatile.
