Last 10 matches: Colorado 3-4-3; St. Louis 6-3-1
Mason has been stingy in his career against the Avalanche, posting a 6-3-0 record with an excellent 1.56 goals-against average. Anderson is questionable to play Monday, so Budaj could make a third straight start. Defensemen Kyle Cumiskey (foot) and Ruslan Salei (back) and forward David Jones (torn left ACL) are all on injured reserve for the Avalanche.

The Blues continue to play without defenseman Eric Brewer (lower-body injury) and forward D.J. King (right hand surgery).
First of four meetings this season. Colorado won the opener last season before St. Louis took three straight. Brad Boyes led all scorers with three goals, including the only tally in the most recent matchup, April 12 in Denver. Chris Mason stopped all 28 shots he faced in the 1-0 victory.
When the Avalanche signed Craig Anderson over the summer, Peter Budaj had to know his workload would be lightened. He probably wasn’t expecting Anderson to start 27 of the first 29 games, however. Relegated to the sidelines, Budaj has emerged as a key player in the past week with Anderson suffering a neck injury in Florida. He turned in consecutive 29-save performances against Pittsburgh and Columbus, leading Colorado to a 3-2 win in the latter game.

“I think he’s a pretty resilient guy,” coach Joe Sacco told the Denver Post. “It’s been a tough go for him over the past couple of months here. He understood his role, he worked hard, and he prepared himself so when his opportunity came he was ready. He’s done a real solid job for us the last couple of games.” We will post results of this match, as soon as posible.. stay tuned.
