Apr 5, 2026; Denver, Colorado, USA; St. Louis Blues center Robert Thomas (18) faces off against Colorado Avalanche center Brock Nelson (11) as linesman Travis Gawryletz (67) drops the puck in the third period at Ball Arena. Mandatory Credit: Isaiah J. Downing-Imagn Images Defeating the Colorado Avalanche once has proven to be a difficult assignment for most teams, but defeating them twice in a row seems akin to ascending Mount Everest.
That’s the mountain that the St. Louis Blues must climb to pick up crucial points Tuesday night when they welcome the Avalanche in the second half of a home-and-home set.
Robert Thomas scored with 2:50 remaining in the third period as a part of his first career hat trick to carry the Blues to a 3-2 road victory over Colorado on Sunday.
“It’s taken a long time, so it feels good,” Thomas said of his goal-scoring feat. “A little bit of a relief, but yeah, it’s been a while.”
Thomas got some help from his linemates en route to the hat trick, with Jimmy Snuggerud and Dylan Holloway each tallying three assists in the victory.
The Blues (33-31-12, 78 points) enter Tuesday firmly entrenched in the tightly contested race for the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference thanks to an extended streak of winning hockey, with a 6-1-1 record over their past eight games and 13 wins since the Olympic break (13-3-3).
St. Louis’ top talents have led by example during this stretch. Thomas has picked up points in five straight games (five goals, five assists), while Holloway has a six-game point streak (four goals, seven assists).
“We’re having fun as a team, we’re trying to win games, we’re doing our best to possibly do that,” Snuggerud said. “Coming into this building is a tough one, and I thought we rose to the occasion, and we need to do the same thing at home.”
Despite Sunday’s defeat, the Avalanche (50-16-10, 110 points) are on the brink of winning the Presidents’ Trophy for the fourth time in franchise history, waiting on just one more victory or a Dallas Stars loss in regulation to secure the top spot in the Western Conference.
Colorado most recently topped the league with 82 points during the shortened 56-game regular season back in 2020-21.
Only one night after suiting up for his 1,000th consecutive contest, Brent Burns turned back the clock with a two-point performance (one goal, one assist) on Sunday, while Parker Kelly reached the 20-goal plateau for the first time in his career.
“Things are just going in. I mean, like this one goes off my stick then off their guy. So, little bit of luck,” Kelly said. “I’m happy with the year I’ve been having, but yeah, we still got (six) games here, and we need to get a couple more wins here. That’s the priority.”
Forward Valeri Nichushkin missed Sunday’s clash due to an upper-body injury, but he could be available for the second game of the set.
“He’s probably a possibility even for Tuesday. We’ll just see how he feels the next couple days. Just that time of year,” Avalanche coach Jared Bednar told the media. “You get some little bumps and bruises. Everybody has them, but sometimes there’s something a little bit more significant. I don’t want to be playing guys hurt if it can get worse. So, you got to be careful on some of them. That’s what we did today with Val.”
Avalanche superstar Nathan MacKinnon, who leads the league with 51 goals and sits third in points with 122, will be looking to get back on the scoresheet after being blanked Sunday.

Feb 28, 2026; Salt Lake City, Utah, USA; New Orleans Pelicans guard Jeremiah Fears (0) grabs the ball away from Utah Jazz guard Elijah Harkless (16) during the second half at Delta Center. Mandatory Credit: Chris Nicoll-Imagn Images Late-season losing streaks collide Tuesday when the New Orleans Pelicans play host to the Utah Jazz.
While losing has more benefit than winning for teams low in the standings, the Jazz (21-58) have more to gain by losing as they sit fourth from the bottom of the overall NBA pecking order with three games remaining in the season.
Utah is tied for last place in the Western Conference standings with the Sacramento Kings.
The Pelicans (25-54) have been only slightly better than the Jazz, but they don’t stand much to gain in the draft-positioning race. The Atlanta Hawks own New Orleans’ first-round pick this upcoming offseason, while the Chicago Bulls are in possession of the team’s second-round pick.
By trading their first-round pick last summer, the Pelicans did land Derik Queen, who has been finding his way through an up-and-down first season with 11.2 points and 6.8 rebounds over 78 games (45 starts).
Fellow rookie Jeremiah Fears has scored 13.4 points with 3.3 assists in 79 games (46 starts) for New Orleans.
Without Trey Murphy III (ankle) and Dejounte Murray (hand) on Sunday, the Pelicans dropped a 112-108 decision to the Orlando Magic despite leading by 15 points in the third quarter and 10 points in the fourth. They were tied with 3:50 remaining.
Saddiq Bey scored 32 points, Fears had 19, Yves Missi added 18 with 13 rebounds and Zion Williamson delivered 17 points in 28 minutes. Williamson played in his 62nd game, his second most in seven NBA campaigns. He has averaged 21 points with 5.7 rebounds.
Tuesday will be New Orleans’ final home game of the season.
“Give (the fans) one more (and) bring some joy into our building,” Pelicans interim head coach James Borrego said. “One more run on Tuesday night and bring our best. That’s what I’m looking for, for our guys to bring their best.”
While the Pelicans are on an eight-game losing streak, the Jazz have lost nine consecutive games. The most recent defeat in that run was a 146-111 setback to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday.
It was the most points scored in a game this season by the champion Thunder. Their second-highest-scoring game was a 144-point effort on Nov. 21 against the Jazz.
Utah’s Lauri Markkanen (hip), Keyonte George (hamstring) and Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) all are expected to miss the final handful of games.
Brice Sensabaugh (14.8 points per game) scored 34 points Sunday, his third most in a game this season. He is scoring 26 points over his last 11 games, including a 41-point effort March 18 against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
“Brice’s biggest improvement is getting catch-and-shoots off,” Jazz head coach Will Hardy said. “Shooting is a great weapon for him. Coming into the NBA (in 2023), he was for sure more of a scorer than a shooter. But for us now, and moving forward, if Brice gets a catch-and-shoot, we want him to shoot it.”
The Jazz will close their season with a home game against the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday and a road game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday.

Apr 6, 2026; Miami, Florida, USA; Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Brandon Williamson (55) delivers a pitch against the Miami Marlins during the fifth inning at loanDepot Park. Mandatory Credit: Sam Navarro-Imagn Images Brandon Williamson pitched 6 2/3 innings of scoreless baseball, and hometown hero Sal Stewart stroked an RBI single as the Cincinnati Reds defeated the host Miami Marlins 2-0 on Monday night.
Cincinnati, which has won four straight games, also got a home run from Tyler Stephenson.
Williamson (1-1) lowered his ERA from 11.57 to 4.76 as he allowed just three hits and one walk.
Stewart, a Miami native, had an eventful day that included a stolen base. He was also thrown out trying to advance from second to third on a groundout.
Emilio Pagan pitched a 1-2-3 ninth, earning his fourth save of the year.
Miami was held to just three hits, a triple and two singles.
Marlins starter Janson Junk (0-1) was solid in 7 1/3 innings, allowing seven hits, one walk and two runs.
Cincinnati threatened in the opening frame as the first two batters reached — TJ Friedl singled, and Matt McLain walked. But Junk got out of the jam by getting Elly De La Cruz on a lineout and Stewart on a double-play grounder.
Cincinnati opened the scoring in the fourth as De La Cruz doubled past diving second baseman Leo Jimenez and scored on Stewart’s RBI single, which was smoked to center at 103 mph.
The Reds may have gotten more out of that rally but Stewart got thrown out at third base as he tried to advance on a grounder by Eugenio Suarez. Credit first baseman Connor Norby with a bullet throw to get Stewart at third.
With two outs in the sixth, Agustin Ramirez tripled off the top of the wall in right, a 360-foot, opposite-field poke. It was just the second triple in Ramirez’s brief MLB career, but he was stranded when Jakob Marsee struck out swinging at a 2-2 sweeper that was low and out of the zone.
In the seventh, Otto Lopez singled, and, with two outs, lefty reliever Brock Burke came on and struck out Xavier Edwards looking at a 95-mph fastball in the zone.
Stephenson made it 2-0 in the eighth as he slugged a hanging slider over the fence in left, and Miami’s offense never got untracked against Tony Santillan (eighth inning) or Pagan.
