A pair of streaking teams are set to lock horns on Monday night when the St. Louis Blues invade the Ball Arena in Denver to take on the Colorado Avalanche. Read on for our Blues-Avalanche picks and predictions.
The Colorado Avalanche are finally starting to shake off the early-season rust after winning four straight. They're playing like the team that hoisted Lord Stanley's mug last spring. Colorado charges into Monday's game hot following a 4-1 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday night. Mikko Rantanen notched four points, Cale Makar tickled the twine twice, and Pavel Francouz stopped 24 pucks to secure the win.
Meanwhile, the Blues have momentarily regained their footing after a putrid eight-game losing streak, winning consecutive games for the first time since Oct. 22. St. Louis bested first-place Vegas 3-2 during its last outing on Saturday night.
Now only one team can continue streaking.
