Colorado at St. Louis

The Avs get a chance for quick revenge after losing 3-2 at home to St. Louis on Sunday night. That game evened the season series for these two division rivals at 1-1, but Colorado holds a sturdy 26-14 (.650) edge overall since 2019. The Avalanche (110 points) is comfortably in line for the top seed in the West, eight points up on Dallas (102), but they still need a few more wins to fend off the hard-charging Canes (104) and secure the Presidents' Trophy. Cale Makar has missed the past three games, but there's a chance he could return tonight (check status), as could Valeri Nichushkin. The Blues are holding onto razor-thin playoff hopes, and the effort has been commendable, but realistically, the team has been playing over its head. The Avs are 26-7-5 on the road this season, which is better than their home record, and with revenge, I'm on them to grab a win tonight. Take Colorado.
