Blues Can Bring Out Best Against Avalanche

The Blues snapped the Vegas Golden Knights’ nine-game winning streak as +170 underdogs. Jordan Binnington has struggled all season but posted his best game against the Knights while the Blues played them close on 5-on-5 by winning most of the battles to gain puck possession.

The 29-year-old netminder has been maddeningly inconsistent in his career. But when he’s on, Binnington has the makings of an award-winning goaltender. He’ll need to be at his best as St. Louis is continuing to find its form.

On 5-on-5, the Blues rank second-last in the NHL in shooting percentage (6.64 percent) and PDO (0.973). They also have one of the worst penalty kills (70.8 percent, 29th) in the NHL. But against Colorado, the Blues can play inspired hockey as they did in the postseason where they won two games at the Ball Arena.

Avalanche Starting To Hit Stride

After a rocky start, the Avalanche are now starting to resemble the dominant champions they were supposed to be. Colorado has won four straight with an average goal differential of three. Backers would be up big on the puck line with each bet on Colorado here.

Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen have been on fire in this stretch. The pair have been nigh-unstoppable when they’re on the ice and Colorado has averaged five goals per game in its last four. The Avalanche defeated Carolina 4-1 despite getting outplayed for most of the game.
