St. Louis Blues vs Colorado Avalanche Prediction: Expect a Total Over

Prediction for the NHL St. Louis Blues vs Colorado Avalanche match, which will take place on May 28. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

St. Louis Blues

St. Louis continues to put up a good fight against Colorado, who are the main favorites this season. Already in the first game of the series, they went to overtime. Although they lost 2:3, in the return meeting, they won 4:1. It had seemed that Craig Berube's team would be even more active on the home pitch, but they lost both games, 2:5 and 3:6. In the fifth meeting, the team was 56 seconds away from the end of the season but managed to save the game thanks to Robert Thomas at the end of the third period and pulled out a 5:4 win in overtime, thanks to Tyler Bozak's goal.

Colorado Avalanche

Colorado is a top contender for the Stanley Cup again, but the Avalanche are again creating problems for themselves. They defeated Nashville 4:0 in the first round of the playoffs without too much trouble. After four games, Jared Bednar's team led 3:1 in the series, allowing them to finish the contest already in Denver. In the fifth meeting, the team was 3:0 by the 35th minute and should have easily won the game and the entire rivalry, but it didn't happen. Colorado conceded in overtime (4:5), and the series returned to Missouri.

Expert Betting Tips

St. Louis miraculously escaped a series loss the day before, returning the series to home ice, but beating Colorado for a second consecutive game will be incredibly difficult. The Avalanche players were relaxed and believed in success too early in the game and were 3:1 on the road, but now they will be as motivated as possible, and there's no reason to expect any mistakes. Jared Bednar's team is much more skillful. A bet on Colorado's victory in the sixth game with odds of about 1.87 is in order.

In the first two games, the teams did not reach a total over, but in the subsequent three battles, the Avalanche and the Musicians scored 25 goals (8.33 average per game), which is a very respectable number. The rivals also played effectively every time in the last regular season, so we suggest betting on a total over 6.5 for 1.86.

In 62 regular-season games, Valeri Nichushkin has recorded 52 points (25 goals + 27 assists). The 27-year-old forward has also been productive in the playoffs, scoring three goals and four assists in nine games. The Colorado forward is in good form, so a bet on Valeri Nichushkin's Total Over 0.5 for 3.4.
