This will be a bit less dense than the DaterJinx piece posted earlier. It leans more on stats and a little less on “we got this!”

It may land in the same place, but my sports information background pushes me toward a more analytical approach. So here I am, offsetting Dater’s confidence with measurables that point to a similar outcome… just without the bravado.

Let’s take a deep dive into the first step of what we all hope is a memorable spring.

Los Angeles Kings (WC2)vs.
Colorado Avalanche (C1)

Kings: 35-27-20, 90 points
Avalanche: 55-16-11, 121 points
Season series: COL: 3-0-0; LAK: 0-3-0

Dallas and Colorado. Edmonton and Los Angeles.
