If the Blues win in any fashion tonight, and the Avalanche take out the Wild in regulation, playoff hockey will start early next week at Enterprise Center. If that scenario doesn’t click, then it’ll start at the XCel Energy Center. Regardless of which team gets home ice advantage in the first round, a Blues/Wild series promises to be a hell of a good time based on the performances of both teams during the regular season.
The Vegas Golden Knights don’t have to worry about home ice, because they’ve missed the playoffs for the first time in their history.
