St. Louis Blues Betting Preview

The Blues recently went scoreless in their battle against the Vancouver Canucks. The game ended 5-0 in favor of the Canucks, which is one of the worst performances the Blues have put up all season.

They are currently seventh in the Central Division and have had issues with consistency. While their stats are not the worst in the league, they have had games where they play like the worst. Can this be the matchup that sparks a commanding run?

Their offense is not getting anything done on the ice, as they average 1.86 goals a game. With 24.7 shot attempts a game, they must do better in getting more wait scoring opportunities.

Defensively they are not horrendous, as they allow just 2.71 goals a game. They also allow teams to get 33.1 shots on them a game, which is respectable but they should still aim for better defense.

Colorado Avalanche Betting Preview

The Avalanche have lost their last two games, with both of them being on the road. Their recent performance was a 4-0 outing against the Buffalo Sabres. On top of that, this marks their second straight defeat without a single goal.

As if losing was not bad enough, their last two losses have allowed a combined eight goals without an answer. While they are leading in the Central Division, their performances must turn around quickly.

Their offense has not been an issue this season except for their last two matchups. They have averaged 3.38 goals a game and taken 34.6 shots per contest. This aggressive play will bode well for thier chances.

On defense, teams are getting 28.8 shot attempts and scoring 2.50 goals a game. At some point, they must return to this level of play if they want to continue having a successful season.

Odds, Series Trends and Free Pick

MyBookie’s odds show that the Colorado Avalanche are moderate favorites to find success in this matchup. Despite their recent issues, they have a great chance to turn things around.


  • St. Louis Blues: +195

  • Colorado Avalanche: -238

The Blues and Avalanche both went scoreless in their last games. But which team is likely to score in this game, especially enough to win?

By the stats, the Blue struggle already with offense. Overall, the Avalanche should be able to enjoy a rebound game and claim the win potentially by two goals.
