The St. Louis Blues and Colorado Avalanche meet for a Sunday night, Central Division matchup in the NHL. These teams have played just once this season, in a 6-1 blowout win for Colorado. How will this one play out? Here is our expert Blues vs. Avalanche prediction.<\/p>\n
Colorado continues to lead the NHL with 110 points, but some very recent play should have them striving for some cleaner play. They are 2-2-0 in their last 4 games, which also included giving up 8 goals to the NHL\u2019s worst team in the Vancouver Canucks. They bounced back perfectly in a 2-0 win against an elite Dallas Stars team, and while they now play in their second in as many nights, they should have the legs to keep up to momentum. St. Louis is 5-1-2 in their last 8 games, but a playoff appearance this season would be miraculous at this point. Colorado is an absolute juggernaut that scores at the league\u2019s highest rate (3.76 per game), allows the least amount of goals (2.49 per game), and own the second-best penalty kill (83.6%). They are also elite on home ice, with a 24-8-5 record. This is too tall a task for St. Louis. I expect Colorado to win in regulation for our Blues vs. Avalanche prediction.<\/p>\n
