In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil take a deep dive into the Avalanche as they get set for Game 2 of the Western Conference Final tonight.

Zach shares the history on what a win or loss means for the Avs tonight. Will Jared Bednar's adjustments to the top 3 lines get the Avs' offense going? DenverSports.com's Will Petersen joins the show live from Ball Arena to discuss how the Avs can get to Carter Hart, his reaction to Cale Makar being ruled out of Game 2, and if MacKenzie Blackwood would take over in net if the Avs lose tonight.
