Despite this, they remain five points behind the Stars for second place in the division. Leading the charge is star center Nathan MacKinnon, who has accumulated five points in his past five games and currently leads the NHL with 108 points. Additionally, new acquisition Martin Necas has been a solid contributor with 11 points this month. Defenseman Cale Makar continues to dominate, with six points in his past five games and a strong chance of winning the Norris Trophy. The Avalanche are also benefitting from solid goaltending, with Scott Wedgwood and MacKenzie Blackwood performing well.

St. Louis Blues Facing Tough Challenge Against Dominant Colorado Avalanche

The St. Louis Blues have recently been achieving victories, although against relatively easier opponents such as the Ducks, Canucks, Blackhawks, and Predators within their past eight games. In contrast, the Colorado Avalanche have displayed dominance this month, winning eight of their last ten games including a recent 4-0 victory over the Kings. The Blues have struggled to score against the Avalanche this season, managing only three goals in two meetings. On the other hand, Colorado has been consistently scoring four or more goals in four of their past five games. Given this trend, it is advisable to consider the puck line, particularly as four of their last five home wins have been by two or more goals.
