The 2026 Western Conference Final between the Colorado Avalanche and Vegas Golden Knights opened with the Golden Knights stealing home-ice advantage via a 4-2 road win in Game 1. Colorado’s absence of star defenseman Cale Makar looms large, forcing adjustments on the blue line despite the returns of Sam Malinski and Artturi Lehkonen, while Vegas continues to manage without Mark Stone. Nathan MacKinnon’s offensive drive and the Avalanche’s strong playoff form face a Golden Knights side emphasizing special-teams execution and depth scoring from players like Pavel Dorofeyev. The series now shifts to a best-of-seven format where recent injury status, goaltending matchups, and home-ice recovery for Colorado will shape the remainder of the contest.
