Colorado has shown some vulnerability during the second round of the playoffs the last few seasons. It wouldn't surprise me if the Blues stole this first game of this series. So at this price, I'm throwing down on St. Louis.

The Avalanche could be dealing with serious rust having last played on May 9.

The Blues have won nine of their last 11 road games.

Colorado only outscored St. Louis by one goal during three regular season meetings.
