Everyone who thought the Blues would clinch a playoff spot last night were with the Avalanche’s 3-2 shootout win over the Arizona Coyotes. Yes, it would’ve been more rewarding to get in via a win against the New York Rangers, who erased a 2-0 Blues lead with four unanswered goals. And yes, the Blues could’ve used those two points against a non-playoff team, because somehow the Dallas Stars are only two points behind the Blues and a first round matchup with the Nashville Predators.
But that’s ok.
