If St. Louis wins tomorrow, they finish as the 6th seed, Columbus 7th and Anaheim 8th.
If the Blues get one point or lose in regulation, Columbus 6th, Anaheim 7th and St. Louis 8th.
St. Louis plays in Colorado tomorrow at 5pm ET.
added 11:10pm, via NHL.com,
Anaheim’s 5-4 shootout loss to Phoenix and Columbus’ 6-3 loss to Minnesota on Saturday night assured that the last three playoff pairings in the Western Conference won’t be decided until Sunday.
The Jackets’ loss left them with 92 points, sixth in the West. But St. Louis could match them by winning at Colorado on Sunday; the Blues would finish ahead of Columbus because they won the season series between the teams.
If St. Louis gets one or no points on Sunday, the Ducks will finish seventh and the Blues eighth. The Ducks have 91 points and 43 wins; if the Blues get 91 points with an overtime or shootout loss, they’ll have 41 victories.
The sixth-place finisher will play Vancouver, which won the Northwest Division title and the third seed with a 1-0 victory at Colorado. The seventh seed will play Detroit, the Central Division winner and second seed. The eighth seed will play San Jose, which won the Pacific Division and captured the Presidents’ Trophy with the NHL’s best regular-season record.
My question, Blues tied late in the 3rd tomorrow, do they pull the goalie for a regulation win?
