It took until the 82nd game of the regular season, but the Colorado Avalanche finally did it – they completed the most improbable comeback hockey fans have seen in a long time. One win, that’s all they needed to punch their ticket as the final team to qualify for the 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Mission accomplished.
The Avs got the necessary regulation win. They capped the season off with 95 points and outlasted the Blues for the second Wildcard position in the Western Conference. Next up is a best of seven series against the President Trophy winning Nashville Predators.
