The Colorado Avalanche can close out the Minnesota Wild tonight following its 5-2 win in Game 4 on Monday night. Parker Kelly scored his first career playoff goal, Nazem Kadri added one of his own on a power play, and Ross Colton buried a wide-open look in the third period to break a 1-1 tie and pull away. Minnesota did jump out to an early 1-0 lead, but couldn’t sustain the momentum against a Colorado team that has now gone 7-1 this postseason. The Avalanche lead the series 3-1 and can advance with a Game 5 victory tonight at Ball Arena.

Nazem Kadri Over 0.5 Points (-135): Kadri is riding a five-game point streak dating back to Colorado’s first round series against the Kings, and has gone over this number in all four games against Minnesota. Across eight playoff games thus far, the 35-year-old has racked up six points in total to go along with 24 shots on goal. Reacquired from Calgary at the trade deadline, his value for this prop comes on the power play, where four of his five points during the streak have come. Kadri is no stranger to playoff success in Denver, as he recorded 15 points in 16 games during his first stint with the Avalanche when they won the Cup in 2022. In a closeout game at Ball Arena where the Avs figure to control possession and draw penalties against a desperate Wild team, Kadri to record another point at -135 feels reasonable.
