Colorado has dominated the series from the start, winning Game 1 (2–1) and Game 2 (2–1 in overtime) before pulling away in Game 3 with a 4–2 victory.

The Avalanche have leaned on elite defensive structure and goaltending, with Scott Wedgewood making key saves throughout the series, while timely scoring, like Cale Makar’s go-ahead goal in Game 3, has consistently swung momentum in their favor. NHL and ESPN game recaps confirm Colorado’s 3–0 series lead and their ability to win tight, low-scoring games early before breaking through offensively.

For Los Angeles, this is now an elimination game after struggling to generate offense, managing just four total goals across the first three games. Despite solid goaltending from and competitive efforts in Games 1 and 2, the Kings have been unable to sustain pressure or finish chances against Colorado’s disciplined defense.
