Will The Avalanche Beat The Oilers?
It would be tough to argue that any team in hockey right now is better than the Colorado Avalanche. Not only did this team finish with the second-most points in all of hockey throughout the regular season, but they’ve been dominant throughout the first two rounds of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Colorado was able to come away with a sweep against the Nashville Predators and then were able to take down a tough St. Louis Blues team in six games.
Despite the Avalanche being arguably the best team in hockey, the Edmonton Oilers might be able to give them a run for their money. Edmonton has one of the best attacks that hockey is seen in quite some time, which is led by Connor McDavid.
