The St Louis Blues will face off against the Colorado Avalanche in St Louis for game 4 of the series. I believe this will surprisingly be a high-scoring game with lots of offensive chances for both teams. This is a must-win game for the Blues.
The Avalanche defeated the Blues previously in Game 3 5-2. The Puck is set to drop at 9:30 PM eastern time in St Louis.
