St. Louis vs Colorado Prediction 5 April 2025
🔊 Will the Blues' winning streak come to an end? St. Louis are almost mirroring their remarkable playoff push from 2019. It was then that the home team claimed their first and only Stanley Cup title in franchise history. However, Colorado have also been delivering consistent performances recently and are just as determined as their opponents to make a strong playoff run.
Head-to-Head
In the current regular season, the rivals have faced off three times, with the Blues holding the upper hand. They've secured two victories (3-1, 2-1) against a single defeat (0-5). Notably, their last encounter was just a few days ago, where St. Louis clinched the win thanks to forward Robert Thomas, who provided two crucial assists. Both Thomas and his team are on an impressive run, with the forward scoring points in seven consecutive games.
Head-to-head statistics St. Louis - Colorado
St. Louis Blues Team Overview
Jim Montgomery's squad has hit an impressive stride, securing 11 consecutive victories in the regular season. This run has erased any doubts about their participation in the Stanley Cup. Moreover, they have now become a genuine dark horse in the playoffs. Six years ago, a similar late-season surge propelled the Blues into the top eight of the Western Conference, eventually leading them to claim the coveted title. Such remarkable end-of-season performances seem to be a hallmark of the club.
Match Results: St. Louis Blues
Colorado Avalanche Team Overview
The Avalanche have navigated their mid-season slump and have since found a steady rhythm, unlike their upcoming opponents. In their last eight games, Jared Bednar's squad has suffered just one regulation loss, which was against St. Louis (1-2). The visitors sit third in the Central Division and are unlikely to move up the standings. They are now focused on their first-round playoff opponent, which will be either Winnipeg or Dallas. The Jets appear to be the more favorable matchup, as Colorado defeated them in five games last year.

📌 Projected Lineups
St. Louis: Binnington - Leddy, Faulk - Buchnevich, Thomas, Neighbours
Colorado: Blackwood - Makar, Toews - Drouin, MacKinnon, Lehkonen
🥅 Goalkeepers
St. Louis goaltender Jordan Binnington has been performing exceptionally well. Over the last four games, the Canadian has maintained an impressive save percentage of 95%, consistently giving his team a strong chance to succeed.
Colorado's netminder Mackenzie Blackwood is also matching his counterpart's performance. In the past four games, he has not only saved over 90% of the shots faced but also recorded a shutout against Los Angeles. While Blackwood is in great form, how he will perform in the playoffs remains uncertain, as he lacks experience in this high-pressure environment.
Editorial Prediction
Head-to-head clashes between these teams in Missouri have long been one-sided affairs. The Blues have failed to defeat their opponents in regulation time on home ice in 10 of their last 11 meetings. Meanwhile, the Avalanche are in excellent form and maintain their momentum this regular season. Jared Bednar's squad have not lost in regulation time in 7 of their last 8 games. We believe both trends will continue to hold true. Our recommended bet is Colorado not to lose.No comments
