Colorado, Vegas Battle With a Cup Final Spot in Sight

Colorado and Vegas are the kind of teams that force every shift to matter, because both sides know exactly how little room there is to breathe in a series like this. The matchup carries the feel of a heavyweight fight, where depth, discipline and one hot goalie can rewrite the script in a hurry. When these clubs meet, the small stuff usually decides the big stuff, and that keeps the tension high from the opening faceoff.
