The Chicago Blackhawks look to force their Central Division rival St. Louis Blues into a must-win situation Saturday to earn a playoff spot.
Due to the Colorado Avalanche’s 4-2 loss Thursday at San Jose, St. Louis can lose to the Blackhawks and still make the playoffs with a win Saturday in Denver.
Here’s how Friday’s game will impact St. Louis’ playoff chances, according to the Blues.
1. The Blues win in regulation or overtime Friday against Chicago and will need just one point Saturday in Colorado to secure a playoff spot.
