The series' first three games this postseason in the playoffs in the West in this past week between the Los Angeles Kings and Colorado Avalanche in the Stanley Cup Playoffs has been pretty close on the ice and on the scoreboard for interim head coach DJ Smith and his coaching staff. Most of the series' first three games in the West this postseason in the playoffs have been decided by late goals on the scoreboard in the final frame in the third period in clutch time.
For the Kings to avoid elimination late this weekend on Sunday afternoon (April 26), they must avoid the sweep by winning the game on the scoreboard today vs. Colorado. The Kings lost all three games on the ice in this series in the postseason in the playoffs by one goal on the scoreboard, had it not been at least for an empty-netter from Colorado in Game 3 in this past few days.
