Avalanche and St. Louis Blues collide in Edmonton for series rubber match

The long-overdue rubber match between the Avalanche and St. Louis Blues has arrived.

These teams were originally scheduled to meet April 4 in Denver on the last day of the regular season. They will now meet Sunday afternoon in Edmonton, the hub city for the Western Conference playoffs.

The season series is tied 2-2, with each team winning twice at home. In addition to bragging rights, Sunday’s game will help determine the top four seeds in the conference when the traditional 16-team, best-of-seven tournament begins Aug. 11. The Avs and Blues, as well as the Vegas Golden Knights and Dallas Stars, have a qualifying-round bye while they play against each other for seeding.
