The St. Louis Blues take on the Colorado Avalanche for a big Central Division meeting in the NHL on Saturday. What a two-game stretch for St. Louis to start the season. Friday night gave them a tough team in the Dallas Stars, and they now hit the ice for a second straight night against an even better team in Colorado. Will they have enough juice to compete? Let’s find out with our Blues vs. Avalanche prediction.
St. Louis kicked off their season with a surprisingly impressive 4-0 win over a strong Stars team, but I don’t see them repeating that result tonight. Colorado sits at 1-0-0 after a dominant 8-4 victory over the Los Angeles Kings. They have not played since Wednesday night, and have yet to hit the road this season. They come into this game as massive underdogs for a reason, and I believe they will flex their muscle in a dominant win yet again. Colorado is fierce and hungry, as they know the only option this season is to win their first Stanley Cup since 2022. As for St. Louis, they are entering a new phase that has included many major trades, a new GM, a new(ish) coach, and an influx of many new players, young and old. This group will run into a wall here on Saturday night. For our Blues vs. Avalanche prediction, we are siding with Colorado on the puck line, winning by multiple tallies.
Blues vs. Avalanche prediction: Colorado Avalanche -1.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that line to (-125).
