Blues vs. Avalanche: Game 2 prediction

Goal Line: Blues +1.5 (-125); Avalanche -1.5 (+105)
Blues: +185
Avalanche : -230
Over/Under: Over 6.5 (-130); Under 6.5 (+110)

As expected the Colorado Avalanche were going to have a much tougher time with St. Louis than they did in a first-round sweep of the Nashville Predators. Blues goalie Jordan Binnington had 51 saves in Game 1 and with a little more push from St. Louis offensively there is a chance for a steal on the road. I expect Colorado thinks they might have gotten away with one and will bring their ‘A’ game for Game 2.

Pick: Avalanche
