Alex Newhook scored on his birthday for the second straight season, and the Colorado Avalanche beat the St. Louis Blues 4-2 on Saturday for their seventh win in eight games. Evan Rodrigues, J.T. Compher and Matt Nieto also scored for Colorado, and Logan O’Connor had two assists. Alexandar Georgiev stopped 26 shots.
By that virtue, the Avalanche and Blues might form the NHL’s fiercest rivalry going right now. They picked up this season where they left off in the playoffs. From the Avs’ three-goal collapse in May to their series-ending buzzer beater the next game, from a desperate 6-on-3 thwarted by a nemesis netminder in November to another Colorado buzzer beater in December, there was every reason to expect more great theater between the rivals Saturday at Ball Arena.
DENVER - The Blues looked dead for half the game, then came alive Saturday at Ball Arena - home of Stan Kroenke's Colorado Avalanche. But in the end it was another loss - 4-2 after a Colorado empty-netter with 2.7 seconds remaining. The Blues' fourth loss in succession.
