Avalanche Look to Break Blues’ Streak in Crucial Rematch
The Colorado Avalanche are stepping into hostile territory tonight, aiming to bring an end to one of the most impressive runs we've seen this NHL season — the St. Louis Blues’ 11-game winning streak. This matchup isn’t just another regular season game. It’s a grudge match, a test of momentum, and for Colorado, a shot at redemption after being stifled by Jordan Binnington in their last encounter.
But Colorado isn’t rolling over. The Avalanche are coming off a strong stretch themselves, including a seven-goal outburst against Columbus, and are sitting pretty with a playoff spot locked in. Still, don’t think for a second they’re taking their foot off the gas. There’s plenty at stake individually and as a team. Cale Makar is chasing that rare 100-point milestone as a defenseman, and Nathan MacKinnon is still in the Hart and Rocket Richard conversations. Every game matters when awards, momentum, and seeding are all on the line.

Jared Bednar’s squad will be hungry tonight. They want to prove that last week’s loss to the Blues was a fluke — and they have the firepower to do it. The projected top line featuring Lehkonen, MacKinnon, and Nichushkin has been relentless, and the depth guys like Ross Colton and Logan O’Connor are stepping up big. In net, Mackenzie Blackwood is expected to get the call, with backup support from Scott Wedgewood.
Meanwhile, St. Louis has been nothing short of electrifying under coach Jim Montgomery. Players like Robert Thomas, Jordan Kyrou, and Brayden Schenn are delivering night after night, and Binnington has returned to vintage form at exactly the right time. There’s no doubt they’re locked in, but the big question is: Can they keep this streak alive under pressure?
With playoff implications swirling, personal milestones on the line, and no love lost between these two teams, tonight’s showdown at the Enterprise Center is shaping up to be a thriller. Whether you’re rooting for the Avs to shut the party down or hoping the Blues hit a franchise-record 12th straight win, one thing’s for sure — this isn’t just another game. It’s a battle.
Drop the puck. Let’s go.
