On a rare one day road trip the Colorado Avalanche visited the St. Louis Blues for the first time all season. The two teams will become very familiar next week but for now was an opportunity to take care of business and move closer to clinching a playoff spot in the Honda West Division.
More adversity was thrown the Avalanche’s way when they had another morning skate called off and a day spent awaiting test results when a positive COVID-19 test placed Philipp Grubauer on the protocol list. Joonas Donskoi also sat out after feeling the effects of a recent COVID-19 vaccination.
