The over is 12-5 in Avalanche last 17 overall. The under is 8-3 in Blues last 11 overall. The Avalanche are 8-22 in the last 30 meetings in St. Louis and 4-0 in the last 4 meetings. The favorite is 40-17 in the last 57 meetings. The home team is 36-16 in the last 52 meetings.
The Colorado Avalanche haven't played in several days, so it's going to be interesting to see if they can build on their rhythm and don't play with any potential rust. The St. Louis Blues are a talented club, but they continue to come up short time and time again and it's to the point we need to see some progress before we keep giving them the benefit of the doubt and lose money. Even with the long layoff, I have to give the edge to the Avs, the far and away more consistent team.
