Preview: Blues at Avalanche

THE OPPONENT

The St. Louis Blues open their season series with the Colorado Avalanche on New Year’s Eve, beginning a three-game set that will continue April 5 in Colorado and April 7 in St. Louis. Colorado enters the night first overall and riding an eight-game winning streak. Cale Makar leads all defensemen in points, while Nathan MacKinnon ranks second among all skaters in the League. In net, the Avalanche boast one of the NHL’s top goaltending tandems, with Scott Wedgewood and Mackenzie Blackwood ranking second and third overall among goalies.

Despite the challenge, recent history has favored the Blues. St. Louis went 3-1-0 against Colorado last season and has won three straight meetings, including a 2-1-0 record in their last three games in Denver. Robert Thomas led the way for St. Louis last season against Colorado with six assists and seven points.
