St. Louis at Colorado

The St. Louis Blues have been great on the defensive end of the ice all season, perhaps until now. Every team is capable of playing below a level of standard they have set during the course of a season and the Blues may be encountering that right now. St. Louis had an amazing streak all season, not allowing more than five goals in a game for 19 straight contests. They also went 14 straight games allowing three or less, but have now allowed four or more in two of their last seven, including four their last time out on the ice. The Colorado offense is also on an uptick after getting shutout in three of their previous 12 games. The Avalanche have scored 13 times in their last four games, for 3.25 per contest. The Blues are now 11-5-2 to the OVER in their last 18 as a road favorite of 110 to -150. Colorado has played 24-9-1 to the OVER in their last 34 vs. the Central. The last eight meetings between these clubs has seen just one held under the total. Play the OVER in this contest.
