Makar Injury, Offense Woes Sink Avalanche as Knights Reach Cup Final

The Colorado Avalanche were swept 4-0 in the Western Conference Final after a 2-1 Game 4 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights. Key factors included Cale Makar’s lingering upper-body injury limiting Colorado’s defense and transition, underperforming top forwards, a stagnant power play, and inconsistent goaltending. Colorado also struggled to hold leads in Games 2 and 3, trailing for much of the series and failing to generate the big saves needed to stave off Vegas en route to the Cup Final.

Kraken's Historic Playoff Debut Upsets Defending Champs.
