### Vegas Seeks 3‑0 Sweep Over Colorado in West Final

CBS Sports NHL • May 26, 2026 at 8:54 AM ET

[×](/hi/sports?tab=cbssports-nhl)

Vegas faces Colorado in Game 4 of the West Final, with the Presidents' Trophy winner staring at a possible sweep. The **Golden Knights** hold a 3‑0 series lead, a rare feat for a road team. Colorado’s offense has scored only six goals in the series, and key player **Cale Makar** missed the first two games with injury. Before Game 3, the Avs struggled to maintain momentum.

**Mark Stone** returned from injury, scoring a power‑play goal early in the third to spark a comeback. Mitchell Marner leads the playoffs with 21 points, while **Nathan MacKinnon**, the league’s top scorer, limped after blocking a shot, playing only four shifts in the final period. Colorado’s defense, anchored by **Scott Wedgewood**, allowed 22 shots in Game 3 and the Avs' offensive struggles continue.

With a 3‑0 advantage, Vegas has completed only four series sweeps in the playoffs; the last was in 2014. Colorado’s 49‑game winning streak ended after a 5‑3 loss in Game 3, and the Avs rank 0‑19 in the playoffs when trailing by three goals. The series outcome will decide the first‑round fate of the Presidents' Trophy winner and the league’s playoff narrative.
