The meeting of these teams will take place on May 14 at 04: 00 Moscow time at the Ball Arena. Our portal has prepared its forecast for this confrontation for you.
"Colorado Avalanche»
The Colorado players are playing extremely well this season and are deservedly at the top of their division standings. However, a crowded infirmary is not conducive to a good game. Still, the Avalanche managed to win three times in the last four meetings with San Jose ,after which the team organized a convincing victory over the Kings on the road, and in the last game they defeated the Kings with a big score on their own court.
Los Angeles Kings.
The Kings have not been at their best this season, failing defensively over and over again. They were able to give out a segment of victories and even jumped into the playoff zone, but they did not stay there too long, the team lacks stability, it alternates wins and losses throughout the season. Now the team does not look the best and gives a series of defeats. Lost to the Kings twice to Colorado at home, after which he still could not do anything in the match against St. Louis, and in the last meeting he lost without a chance to the Avalanches on the road.

In this confrontation, the clear favorite is "Colorado", which has been demonstrating good hockey recently, and has already won in the last meeting. The "Kings" are not looking their best right now and have not been able to win for a long time, having lost twice to this opponent on their own court. I think the Avalanche will win a landslide victory.
