LiontipsColorado vs Vegas. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (May 31, 2021).
Command Analysis
Colorado took first place in the regular season in both their division and the overall league table. In the opening round, the Avalanche dealt with St. Louis quite easily and did not give the opponent a single chance (4:0). The team won all the games with a difference of minimum of three goals.
The top scorer of the squad is Nathan MacKinnon, who chalked up six goals and gave three assists. Jared Bednar's charges show good defensive play and score a lot at the same time. They are working really hard this season, and probably plan to take one of the highest positions.
Vegas came second in the Western Division and throughout the regular season, they tried to fight off Colorado in the head-to-head games. Let's mention that in the first round of the playoffs the Knights had to take on Minnesota, and they took the lead in the series 3:1, but then unexpectedly gave away two wins and put themselves in a difficult situation.
Fortunately for the Knights, the last game took place at the T-Mobile Arena, where, with the support of their fans, Vegas beat Minnesota with a score of 6: 2. Max Pacioretty, who has recovered from an injury, will certainly give some edge to Vegas' attack.

Tip and bets
Colorado have to start this series with a victory, because they had a long rest and managed to fully recover from the previous round.

Our prediction is Colorado to win.
During the regular season, many games between these clubs did not have high scores. Colorado are doing well defensively at the moment, so we suggest betting on total of under five goals.
We bet on total under 5.5 goals.
