ST LOUIS — If the Blues are going to make the playoffs — and that’s highly debatable at this point — they could very well open with the Colorado Avalanche.
With that in mind, it would be a nice confidence booster to get a win or two against the Avs down the stretch of the regular season. Since a season-opening 4-1 win over Colorado way back on Jan. 13, the Blues had lost four straight to the Avs entering Thursday’s contest at Enterprise Center.
The last three setbacks were by one-goal margins, all coming in the month of April.
