The Colorado Avalanche look to take a commanding 3-1 lead over the St. Louis Blues in their Western Conference semifinals series. The Av's have won six of seven playoffs and have gone 3-0 on the road in the post-season. The Blues have given up eight goals in the two losses and only one in the lone win. The Blues are 2-2 at home in the playoffs but have lost their last four games to the Avs on home ice. Darcy Kuemper has only given up more than two goals in one of six playoff starts. Ville Husso will replace Billington in the net and he has given up at least four goals in his three playoff starts. The last game went over but took two empty-net goals late to get it there. This is a high total and both defenses have been in control throughout this series. The Blues, who only allowed four goals in the first two games of the series and the defense will have to step up even more with Husso in the net. I may be going against some of the thinking out there but I am going with the UNDER.

Play on the UNDER. This is an 8* play.
