Vegas won both games in Denver, taking a 2-0 lead over the Avalanche. Colorado has been exposed without Cale Makar, but the team has not fully capitalized on Vegas missing Mark Stone. The Avalanche are not expected to be swept, yet Vegas is creating significant obstacles for Colorado to turn the matchup into a true series. Winning both games in Vegas would be difficult for Colorado, and anything less is viewed as a poor outcome at this stage. The current situation makes it hard for the Avalanche to find positives while trailing by two games.
"Vegas took both games in Denver and head home with a 2-0 lead over the juggernaut Avalanche. The Avs have been exposed without Cale Makar, but they aren't taking advantage of a Vegas team without Mark Stone. The Avs won't get swept, but Vegas is now making it difficult for the Avs to make it a true series."
"Anything short of taking both in Vegas is tough to take as a positive right now. Vegas is now making it difficult for the Avs to make it a true series. The Avs won't get swept, but the path forward is getting narrower with each game."
