The St. Louis Blues beat the Colorado Avalanche 3-1 in the Central Division matchup on Sunday night at the Enterprise Center. The Blues played an exceptional game with heavy forechecking to take time and space away from the Avalanche.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Colton Parayko had the go-ahead score in St. Louis' three-goal second period, Jordan Binnington made 27 saves and the Blues topped the Colorado Avalanche 3-1 on Sunday night. Dylan Holloway and Brayden Schenn also scored, and Jordan Kyrou and Justin Faulk each added two assists for St. Louis.

St. Louis Blues' Colton Parayko played in all four 4 Nations Face-Off games for Canada, averaging 19:12 of ice time and he did not record a point.
