St. Louis Blues DFS Spin
Ryan O’Reilly scored a goal in a 3-2 overtime loss to Colorado in Game 1 on Tuesday. O’Reilly has managed to score a goal in each of his last five postseason contests. That’s tied for the franchise record. He now has six goals and nine points in seven playoff games this year.
Colorado Avalanche DFS Spin
Darcy Kuemper stopped 23 of 25 shots in a 3-2 overtime win against St. Louis in Game 1 on Tuesday. Kuemper put forth a solid effort in his return from an eye injury. One of the two goals he allowed was scored during a Blues power play.
Blues vs. Avalanche Game 2 Betting Prediction
Jordan Binnington was absolutely sensational in Game 1 of this series, saving 51 of 54 shots and making remarkable save after remarkable save. While the Aves hit the post several times throughout the game, that shouldn’t take anything away from Binnington’s performance and if he plays that way again tonight, the scoring will be kept in check once more in Denver.
NHL BETTING PREDICTION: BLUES/AVALANCHE UNDER 6.5
