FINAL: The #Avs get back on track with a 4-1 win against St. Louis. Ivan Prosvetov gets his first Colorado win. Ross Colton, Mikko Rantanen, Artturi Lehkonen and Bowen Byram all had goals.
2nd period impressions, Prosvetov has looked good under the pressure. Calm & a big body in net. #Avs need to close down the blue line & high slot to take away the chance for the Blues. Push more on the offensive end. #Avs #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado https://t.co/5TQ20ptxH1

Mikko Rantanen nets a power play goal off a Cale Makar pass, and the #Avs have a 2-0 lead midway through the first. But the Blues are challenging for something. (I could not hear the ref on what.)
Mikko Rantanen rips one from the wing on the power play. 2-0, Avs. The Blues are challenging for a missed game stoppage.
