Blues Go For Franchise Record
The St. Louis Blues go for a franchise-record twelfth straight win when they take on the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday night at Enterprise Center.
The Blues tied their previous mark of eleven consecutive wins by beating the Penguins 5-4 in overtime on Thursday.
Lot Of Drama For Blues Lately
The Blues have been able to keep their winning streak alive by razor-thin margins over their last four games. They’ve won each of those contests by one goal, including two in overtime, one when they came from two goals behind, and the other being a 2-1 victory at Colorado where they were hanging on for dear life in the final couple minutes.
The Blues are now 18-2-2 over their last 22 games, with two of those wins coming over the Avalanche.
Avalanche Beating Everyone… Except The Blues
The Avalanche are nearly as hot as the Blues with a record of 14-2-2 over their last 18 games. One of those losses was to the Blues, and the game before they started that run was also a loss to St. Louis.
Colorado is also crushing its opponents during this stretch. The Avs have a goal differential of 73-37 over those 18 games, which is an average game score of 4.05 to 2.05.
My Pick
I got to be honest. I have a feeling this is where the streak comes to an end for the Blues. They’ve been playing with fire the last four games but have somehow been able to find ways to survive and win. The Avalanche are playing incredibly good hockey as well, and the Blues have done enough where one loss won’t hurt them much in the standings, as they are now a massive favorite to make the playoffs.
That said… I promised myself I’m going to keep betting the Blues and see this winning streak through until the end. I’ve given out 11 straight winners in these Blues articles (10 picks and 1 lean), and I’m willing to go down with the ship when the time comes. This is a special winning streak for this team and this city that Blues fans are going to remember for a very, very long time. At plus money, I’m willing to take a stab on the Blues reaching new heights that they’ve never seen before with 12 straight wins.
Pick: Blues +114 on the moneyline at DraftKings (bet up to +100)
