Parayko scores a goal on four shots

Colton Parayko scored a goal on four shots and blocked two shots in Monday’s 5-2 loss to the Canucks. Parayko is up to five goals and two assists over 12 outings in January. The 31-year-old continues to impress on offense even with limited usage on the power play — he saw 56 seconds with the man advantage Monday after receiving no power-play time over the previous three contests. Parayko is up to a career-high 11 goals while adding 17 assists, 100 shots on net, 80 hits, 122 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 51 appearances. Parayko’s 28 points are his most in any of the last three seasons, and he’s in an excellent position to surpass his career high of 35 points, a mark he’s reached on three separate occasions.

Nichushkin should return after 4 Nations

Valeri Nichushkin (lower body) should be able to draw back into the lineup immediately after the 4 Nations Face-Off, which would put his projected return date as Feb. 22, Aarif Deen of Colorado Hockey Now reports Thursday. Nichushkin was already expected to miss Colorado’s final five games before the tournament, but it seems that will be the end of the time he’ll miss due to his lower-body issue. Nichushkin has 11 goals and 17 points in 21 appearances in 2024-25. The 29-year-old should serve in a top-six role once he’s healthy.

Blues vs. Avalanche Betting Prediction

The Avalanche have won seven out of their last 10 games versus the Blues. While Colorado only won three times on the puckline in those seven victories, this a good time to fade the Blues. They’ve dropped three straight games and three out of their last four. After playing more road games than any team before the New Year, the Blues couldn’t take advantage of a three-game homestand. They scored just four goals in three games, all while allowing 11 goals over that span.

Blues vs. Avalanche Prediction: COLORADO AVALANCHE -1.5 (+135)
