Our final game of NHL predictions has the St Louis Blues taking on the Colorado Avalanche in the front end of a home-and-home series. St Louis is expected to give Jordan Binnington the start in this game. The Blues are 6-2-2 in their last 10 games entering this matchup. St Louis will need points in order to avoid elimination from postseason contention. Dylan Holloway has four goals and four assists in his last 10 games.

Mackenzie Blackwood will likely draw the start for Colorado, which is 6-3-1 in their last 10 games. The Avalanche are coming off a massive win over the Dallas Stars to pretty much take the Central Division. Nathan MacKinnon leads club in points with 122, including seven in the last 10 games.

Colorado is buzzing after that key win. The Avs should carry the momentum into this game.

Prediction: Avalanche win 5-2.
