In the concluding season-series meeting between the Colorado Avalanche and the St. Louis Blues it was the latter who got the last laugh. A sloppy and uninspired effort from the Avalanche contributed heavily to the 4-1 final score for the Blues. The final 10 games of the regular season must go better than this one.
The Game
A slow start didn’t help the visitors and neither did their continuing penalty kill woes when the Blues got on the board first just eight seconds into their first power play of the evening when Vlad Tarasenko fired the puck past Jonas Johansson at 9:25.
