The St. Louis Blues (39-28-7, 43-31 ATS) are experiencing their best period of the season after recording eight consecutive wins. The Blues were on a four-game home stand during which they defeated the Canucks, Blackhawks, Predators, and Canadiens.

The Avs returned home from a three-game road trip in Canada, on which they beat the Canadiens and Senators and lost to the Maple Leafs. Colorado opened its four-game homestay with wins over the Red Wings and Kings, allowing just two goals in the process. The Avalanche are 3rd in the Central Division Standings with 93 points, 11 behind the top-placed Jets.

Blues vs Avalanche Prediction
The Avalanche won seven of the previous ten H2H encounters, including three of the last four. This season, the series is tied at 1-1; the Avs won 5-0 in Denver, while the Blues were better in St. Louis, 3-1. Seven of the last ten, including those two H2Hs, went Under, and considering how these teams play at the moment, I expect another low-scoring affair. The Blues’ defense improved recently, and four of their last six games produced no more than five goals. It’s going to be a tough battle between the divisional rivals. Go with Under.
