The Colorado Avalanche are one win away from the Stanley Cup Finals after a 4-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers.

Colorado will look to clinch their first Finals appearance in 20 years Monday, June 6, at 8:00 p.m. EST.

Edmonton has their backs against the wall but still have perhaps the deadliest attack in the NHL with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. Can the Oilers keep their season alive or will Colorado attain glory?

Avalanche vs Oilers Prediction and Pick

In my opinion, Game 3 was the end of the series. I don't see how Edmonton can roll off four straight wins, three of which would have to come on Colorado's home ice. The Oilers have had a tremendous season, but their dreams fall just short here.

Sure, the Avalanche would love to clinch in front of their Finals-starved fans, but there's no reason to play with your food. Colorado is 6-0 as a road favorite on the playoffs with five of the wins coming on the puck line as well.

Edmonton just doesn't have the depth to keep up with the star-studded roster of the Avalanche. They're in sync and have completely disected the Oilers throughout this series.

Averaging five goals per game on the road in the playoffs, Colorado should come out firing early to build an insurmountable lead and let the celebrations begin. I'll back the Avalanche on the puck line at at incredible +190 number to return to the promised land of the Finals. Even if they have a narrow lead late, Edmonton's desperation will allow ample opportunity for an open net goal in the third period.

Pick: Avalanche -1.5 (+190)
