The Blues had a hot 3 game winning streak in front of rookie goalie Jake Allen. Then, the team was delayed in Vancouver, and last night they fell at home…. Again.
Tonight, the Blues will again be the “tired team” as they face off against the Avalanche…. In Colorado. The Blues have had issues keeping pressure on opposing teams so far in this tightly packed, shortened season. Delayed travel, back to back games, and little rest is not likely to help the situation. Can the Blues muster the energy to play a full 60 minutes of high quality hockey tonight? If they can’t, they will continue on a downside.
Who will score first for the Blues tonight? Give us your best guess! Remember, you just need to comment on this post to be entered into the contest; the person with the most correct guesses at the end of the season will win something dripping with Blues awesomeness.

Tarasenko
Going with Berglund.

Continuing my unbroken string of incorrect guesses, Pietrangelo.
