ST. PAUL, Minn. • Say goodbye to the Blues, to some of them perhaps for good.
Another 100-plus point season ended Sunday with a third consecutive first-round playoff exit, and this one could lead to the most drastic changes fans have seen in some time.
Minnesota topped the Blues 4-1 in Game 6 at Xcel Energy Center, claiming the best-of-seven series four games to two. The Wild advanced to face Chicago in the second round.
“We do what we need to do in the regular season and once the postseason hits, we’re not able to get over that hump,” Blues defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk said.
