The St. Louis Blues needed a big bounce back after a disappointing loss to the Detroit Red Wings. Unfortunately, that did not seem to be in the cards since they were playing the Colorado Avalanche.
The Blues struggled with the Avalanche, at times, in 2018-19. They also struggle with Semyon Varlamov, who had also won his last five decisions. None of these things were setting up in the Blues favor.
However, similarly to how they came out against Nashville just a week or so prior, the Blues came out and took the game to Colorado.
