St. Louis vs Colorado Pick

  • St. Louis vs Colorado Pick

Despite the recent struggles, Colorado was a better team in this matchup, and this is a much more important game for them. Look for Colorado to weather the storm in their recent skid on Sunday night. Look for the Avalanche to use their edge on both sides of the puck to overwhelm a below-average Saint Louis team. Take the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday night to do the job, as they get the win at home against the Blues.

  • St. Louis vs Colorado Over/Under Pick

This is the second time these two teams have faced each other this season, and game one saw a ton of goals. Look for that to be the case Sunday as the Colorado offense will break out of its recent funk. Except for Colorado, which will run it up in this matchup, as Saint Louis will compete on the offensive side. The Blues come into this game running hot, and that will carry over, leading to a high number. Look for Colorado to get the win, but the total will go over Sunday as the Colorado Avalanche host the Saint Louis Blues.
