Blues vs. Avalanche Betting Preview (April 2, 2021)

The St. Louis Blues and Colorado Avalanche have not met since the opening two games of the season back in January. This will be the first of six meetings between the clubs in April. The Blues are coming off a four-day break. They have lost four straight games and are clinging to the final playoff spot in the West Division. Colorado has earned at least one point in 12 straight and in 14-of-15 games.

Blues are struggling on offense and have been held to two or fewer goals in eight of the last 10 games. They're allowing 3.17 goals per game, which is eighth-worst in the NHL. Avalanche have scored 53 goals last ten games, scoring at least four in nine of them. Colorado is playing their first game in front of ticketed fans since the pandemic began. The last game between the teams ended with the Avalanche winning 8-0.

Blues vs. Avalanche is a betting preview for April 2, 2021. The betting lines are as follows:

David Perron is a +270 favorite to score a goal on DraftKings. Peron leads the Blues in scoring this season with 34 points (12 goals, 22 assists) in 35 games. The Blues have registered at least one point in every game that Perton has scored.

Gabriel Landeskog is a good bet on Avalanche to win. He has scored in six of the last eight games at Ball Arena and has five multi-point games in the same period.

Jonas Johaansson will start for the Avalanche against the Blues. Philipp Grubauer will rest after starting four times in eight days. Colorado has won the last three games over 5.5 goals.

Colorado is on a mission this season after a disappointing last season. The Avalanche lost the Stanley Cup last year. Colorado is playing in front of 4,600 fans tonight. Blues are reeling and looking for answers.
