Colorado is 7-0 in these two teams last 7 head to head meetings in St. Louis.
Pick
St. Louis has had an up and down year, but they come into this game on a three game winning streak. The Blues have scored 16 goals in their last three games and they have defeated the Devils and the Panthers in their last two games. Colorado has won two of their last three games, but they were out played by the Wild in their last win. It sounds like Cale Makar will be back in the lineup for Colorado, but I like the way the Blues are playing. I am taking St. Louis at home.
