There will be plenty at stake at Enterprise Center Monday night as a Colorado Avalanche triumph in this one would see them leapfrog the St. Louis Blues to move top of the Central Division standings.

We can however note that even though the Avs are riding a nine-game point streak (8-0-1), they've routinely struggled in St. Louis in recent years, losing eight of the last nine encounters there.

The Blues are coming off back-to-back home wins over Vegas and Chicago, and I think this is the kind of game where the defending Stanley Cup champs really will be on their toes.

10* play on St. Louis Blues.
