The Colorado Avalanche are happy they got a bit of a challenge before sweeping the Nashville Predators.

Forsberg is in the final year of his contract, though Nashville hopes to sign him to a contract extension before free agency opens. The Predators forward became the fourth NHL player in 26 years with multiple tying goals in an elimination game. The Avalanche now are in the Western Conference semifinals for a fourth straight season and second consecutive after sweeping their first-round opponent. Colorado scored three times over the final 11:05 to wrap up a series by outscoring Nashville 21-9. Yakov Trenin scored twice for Nashville, which was swept for the first time in franchise history in its 15th playoff appearance. Makar is a finalist for a second straight season.

These are the teams and players which are most likely to reach the playoffs, but anything can make this change. This season, they are hoping for the magic number 3. With Dallas screaming and cheering their team on, we think the Flames have a chance of keeping this momentum. This is their first real shot at the Stanley Cup in years. Matthew Tkachuk is ready to tear down the ice and dominate the rink. The Predators managed to trade goals with Colorado creating an even match with a constant need for a leading score.

Despite two goals from Yakov Trenin, the Nashville Predators fell to the Colorado 5-3 in Game 4, enduring the franchise's first series sweep.

Covering the Nashville Predators. I work for a company called SPORTLOGiQ and have loved the game of Hockey for over three decades. With Saros falling to injury right before the start of the playoffs, the team leaned on a goaltender with zero playoff starts. He beaver-slapped his stick, calling for a pass, and made no mistake about it when the puck made its way to him. For the first time in franchise history, the Nashville Predators were swept in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Despite a two-goal effort from Yakov Trenin and taking a 3-2 lead, their first of the series, the offense of the Colorado Avalanche proved to be too much for them. Trenin’s two goals in Game 4 made the Predators’ third line their most productive one, as he tied Duchene for the team lead in goals. The Predators were never supposed to contend for a playoff spot this season.

We take a look at how the Stanley Cup odds on DraftKings Sportsbook have shifted since the start of the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The deeper the playoffs get, the more of a chance I’ll give to the team going up against the Avs. The Oilers should get past the Kings and wouldn’t have to deal with the Avalanche until the conference finals, which is ideal. If we’re looking at the West, the Stars at 50/1 and Oilers at 16/1 stand out. On Wednesday, the Pens can advance with a win at MSG. Every other series we’ll be waiting at least until the end of the week. The Colorado Avalanche are the first team to advance to the second round of the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Colorado dispatched the Nashville Predators with relative ease in four games. With so many series close, you’ve got to assume one of these long-shots makes it into the second round.

The Colorado Avalanche were the first team to advance to the second round of the NHL playoffs as they defeated the Nashville Predators 5-3.

The Avalanche had only two power plays in the game, converting on one of them. The goal was the first of the game, giving Colorado a 1-0 lead. The Avalanche defense surrendered only nine goals in the series. The only teams to surrender fewer goals this postseason are the Dallas Stars and Calgary Flames, who have surrendered seven goals each in their four games. The goal was Makar’s third of the playoffs, and the assist, a brilliant seeing-eye pass on the tape of Nichushkin’s stick, gave him his 10th point of the postseason, which leads the team. The Colorado Avalanche and Nashville Predators met at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville Monday night for Game 4 of their first-round playoff series.

After becoming the first team to advance to the second round of the National Hockey League playoffs, the Colorado Avalanche players are returning home to ...

Cale Makar might be more than a Norris Trophy finalist. "He might be the best player in the League right now," Colorado Avalanche teammate Nathan MacKinnon ...

"He was everywhere, made an impact both on the defensive side of things and on the offensive side. The things he does out there, it's hard to believe it. The guy came to me, and then they left Val wide open." "They're mainly man-to-man, so once I beat my guy, something's going to open up, and luckily Val pulled off the back instead of me just driving to the net. "Just knowing [the Predators'] system, I knew that there was going to be a guy open," Makar said. I felt like he was in on almost all the scoring chances we had. He just keeps getting better and better." "It's cool," Makar said. "[Makar's impact] was huge the whole series," Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said. "You look at a few of the plays he made tonight. He has scored 10 points (three goals, seven assists) in four games. Makar has scored 41 points (10 goals, 31 assists) in 39 playoff games in his NHL career.

Meanwhile, the Avalanche have sent their own reinforcements down as they await the results of the other series. It was a difficult year for the top prospect, who was forced down to the minor leagues for most of the year after a trade from the Vegas Golden Knights. Instead of complaining though, Glass became a star for the Admirals, scoring 62 points in 66 games to lead the club. In 46 games for them this year, he had 11 points and 76 penalty minutes.

Avalanche captain Gabe Landeskog landed back in Colorado on Tuesday afternoon with a singular focus. Coaching his daughter's soccer team.

“Being able to just get back and get away for a couple of days, to spend time with friends and family, and not worry about the game is really important. It will also be a good opportunity for him to rest up and get back.” “The playoffs are a stressful time with a lot of pressure on our guys,” Avs coach Jared Bednar said. Landeskog will join plenty of Avalanche fans who tune in to watch the remaining Wild-Blues playoff games in anticipation of the second-round matchup. “I’ve got a big practice on Thursday. My daughter is playing soccer and I’m the coach,” Landeskog said. A dramatic come-from-behind 5-3 victory in Nashville on Monday night clinched the series for Colorado and gifted the team some much-needed rest.

So let's manufacture something to worry about here with the Colorado Avalanche: by eliminating the Nashville Predators in a first-round sweep Monday night, and ...

The Avs, now 8-0 in the first round over the last two postseasons, will take on the Minnesota Wild or St. Louis Blues in the Western Conference semifinals.

The Avs had an NHL-low 22 wins and 48 points in Bednar’s first season of 2016-17. Nearly five years later, the Avs swept Duchene and the Predators out of the playoffs. He’s found a home here in Nashville and he had a great season. Game 2 was probably a little dip from Game 1, but in Game 3 and Game 4, he was excellent — a huge difference-maker in our lineup. The third overall pick of the 2009 draft requested a trade and ultimately Colorado general manager Joe Sakic made it happen. Burakovsky was pointless in the first three games of the postseason.
