Colorado Avalanche vs LA Kings

I’m on the Avalanche here. The Kings are a decent team, but still far too inconsistent for me to feel good about trusting in a spot like this. On the other side, Colorado has started to find their footing, especially at home where they’ve played their best hockey historically and I think the Avs take it to the Kings in this one. Give me Colorado.
