Colorado vs St. Louis Prediction 29 March 2025
🔊 Whose winning streak will be halted first? Colorado are making strides and rapidly climbing the standings. Meanwhile, St. Louis have become the hottest team in the league. The visitors have been victorious for ten consecutive days, earning a rightful spot in the Western Conference playoff race.
Head-to-Head
In the current regular season, these rivals have faced off twice, exchanging home victories. First, the Avalanche dominated in Denver with a 5-0 win, while the Blues settled the score in Missouri, triumphing 3-1. The initial matchup lacked competition, but the rematch was a thrilling encounter, showcasing the visitors' resilience. The standout player from those games was Colorado forward Jonathan Drouin, who notched a brace and added an assist. He remains in excellent form, having registered points in four of his last five games.
Head-to-head statistics Colorado - St. Louis
Colorado Avalanche Team Overview
Jared Bednar's squad have been in impressive form as the regular season draws to a close. In March, they suffered only one regulation loss, when Toronto unexpectedly showcased formidable defensive skills (1-2). However, this minor setback didn't impact the team negatively, as they bounced back with three consecutive wins. Despite this strong finish, it's unlikely to affect their standing in the league. Securing anything other than third place in the Central Division seems improbable for the home side, making a first-round playoff clash with Dallas almost inevitable. This promises to be a highly emotional matchup with numerous personal storylines.

St. Louis Blues Team Overview
The "Bluesmen" continue their remarkable journey towards their dream. Under Jim Montgomery's guidance, they have surged into the playoff spots in the Western Conference as the regular season draws to a close. The team boasts a seven-game winning streak, securing the coveted eighth spot in the conference. They've even managed to build a slight cushion with a three-point lead, meaning a potential slip-up won't be disastrous. However, they can't afford to ease up now, as Vancouver and Calgary are right on their heels, ready to capitalize on any mistakes. Facing one of the strongest teams in the conference will be an excellent test of the team's true capabilities.

📌 Projected Lineups
Colorado: Blackwood - Makar, Toews - Nichushkin, MacKinnon, Drouin
St. Louis: Binnington - Leddy, Fowler - Bolduc, Thomas, Neighbours
🥅 Goalkeepers
Colorado's goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood is showing increasing stability as the playoffs approach. The Canadian has maintained a save percentage of 90% or higher in three of his last four games, securing two wins. However, his lack of playoff experience remains a significant concern. Under pressure, he might falter.
St. Louis' netminder Jordan Binnington is proving his worth with solid performances. As the season reaches its critical juncture, he has delivered reliable play, maintaining an impressive 96% save percentage over two consecutive games. These are elite numbers.
Editor's Prediction
Bookmakers are confident in a home win, but we beg to differ: the visitors are in top form, having secured seven consecutive victories. Jim Montgomery's squad is powering through the final stretch without faltering, and the Blues' motivation seems undeniable. We believe they can at least secure a draw. Our recommended bet is - St. Louis not to lose.
