There are only four weeks, two days and 16 games remaining in the St. Louis Blues’ regular season schedule after tonight’s contest with the Anaheim Ducks. Seven of the remaining Blues’ matches are home games, with four of them are against teams out of playoff contention as this is written. Of the nine road games yet to play, seven are against teams that will most likely not qualify for postseason play.
Of course, that doesn’t mean any games against the non-playoff teams are cakewalks. If the Blues are to participate in postseason play this year, they have to win most of those games, especially the three remaining games with Colorado, last in the NHL standings, and the two games left against Arizona, second to last in the league.
