The St. Louis Blues put their franchise-tying 11-game win streak on the line tonight when they face a Colorado Avalanche squad that has dominated at Enterprise Center with a staggering 10-1 record in their last 11 visits.
Jordan Binnington's clutch goaltending has been the backbone of St. Louis' surge, but he'll need to summon his February magic when he stonewalled Nathan MacKinnon and company in their last meeting.
History favors the high-flying visitors with their lethal MacKinnon-Makar duo, but momentum sits firmly with the home team Blues as they clash with the away team Avalanche in what promises to be a playoff-atmosphere showdown.

St. Louis Blues vs. Colorado Avalanche preview
The red-hot Blues are riding an 11-game win streak into Saturday's showdown at Enterprise Center, where they'll look to make franchise history against a Colorado team that's historically dominated them on home ice with a ridiculous 10-1 record in their last 11 visits to St. Louis.
Nathan MacKinnon has been an absolute force for the Avalanche this season, racking up 114 points with 31 goals and 83 assists, while the Blues' offense has been fueled by Robert Thomas (71 points) and the breakout performance of Jordan Kyrou (65 points).
Between the pipes, Mackenzie Blackwood (2.54 GAA) has given Colorado the consistent goaltending they've needed, but don't count out Jordan Binnington, who's proven capable of stealing games during this remarkable Blues run.
The special teams battle could prove decisive - Colorado's power play sits among the league's elite while St. Louis has struggled mightily on the penalty kill, ranking 30th in the league.
Despite their current hot streak, the Blues' middling offense (2.75 goals per game) might struggle against Colorado's mobile defensive corps led by the electrifying Cale Makar, who's contributed an eye-popping 90 points from the blueline.
This matchup has all the intensity of a playoff preview, with St. Louis hoping to replicate their February formula when they disrupted Colorado's top scorers in a gritty 3-1 victory.
Expect a tight-checking, physical affair where the Avalanche will rely on their transition game while the Blues try to clog the neutral zone and ride Binnington's hot hand.
If you love hockey with championship intensity, this battle between a team chasing history and one looking to reassert their road dominance is must-see Saturday night action.
