Colorado looks totally dominant while taking a 3-0 lead in the series and outscoring the Blues 15-5. The Avalanche have won eight in a row going back to the regular season, and Philipp Grubauer improved to 33-9-1 with a stellar 1.93 goals-against average and a .924 save percentage. Jordan Binnington has not returned to the form he had in winning the Stanley Cup two years ago as he's allowed 11 goals in the first three games of this series. Colorado center Nazem Kadri is suspended for eight games, but the Avalanche have plenty of talent to weather the storm. St. Louis has lost six of its past nine games overall, and the Blues have lost eight of their past 10 against Colorado. They are also 0-5 their last five playoff games as underdogs. St. Louis is 4-9 its past 13 after scoring two or fewer goals its previous game. Take the Avalanche.
