Colorado Avalanche News & Notes:

The Avalanche played the Blues just two days ago in Colorado and lost that game 3-2 after a late third-period goal. Now, the Colorado looks to redeem itself, heading into St. Louis to try and keep the Blues’ chances of a wild-card spot low. They are 2-3-0 in their last five games, averaging 3.74 goals per game while allowing 2.50.

St. Louis Blues News & Notes:

The Blues are coming off a huge win against the Avalanche, 3-2, who are currently the No. 1 team in the NHL. St. Louis odds of getting a wild card spot are extremely low, but if they can beat Colorado in back-to-back games, nothing is impossible. They are 3-1-1 in their last five games, averaging 2.68 goals per game this season while allowing 3.08.
