The St. Louis Blues have not had a game that was without a must-win feel for quite some time. Despite this, they are still sitting on the edge of a knife.
Tonight, the blade threatens to cut them as they face the Washington Capitals for the final time in 2017-18. Of the Blues remaining games, this is the most difficult one on paper.
Washington just clinched their division and a third-straight 100 point season. That is not rarefied air as the Blues had several 100 point seasons, but it does show the Capitals consistency.
St. Louis will need to be on their toes right from the start in this one.
