According to Tankathon.com, the St. Louis Blues have the 10th-hardest schedule remaining. That said, they have three crucial games to watch in the season's final month. These three games are against their hardest and one potential playoff opponent.
If the Blues want to make the impossible happen and make the playoffs, these six points up for grabs and they are crucial in the playoff standings.
Winnipeg
This is the likely first round matchup of the playoffs for the Blues. If the Blues finish as the second wildcard team, and the Winnipeg Jets can continue their dominant season and finish as the top-seed in the Western Conference.
These Central Division rivals have faced off three times this season, and the Blues are 1-1-1 and grabbed three points from the Jets. This final matchup, that is slated to be on April 7, will be a title fight.
Colorado
Another Central Division rival that will be an important game for the season's final month is the Colorado Avalanche. The Blues are 2-1 against the Avalanche this season, and this game could mean a lot more depending on how the next games against the Pittsburgh Penguins go.
Thursday night's bout with Pittsburgh could be the Blues 11th straight win, which would tie the franchise record set in 2018-19. The following game is then against the Avalanche, and it will be at home in front of a ruckus crowd to set the record.
Edmonton
The Blues have one more playoff opponent in the final six games. That would be the Edmonton Oilers, the Stanley Cup runner-up. This season, the Oilers have had the Blues' number with one regulation win and overtime win.
Edmonton has been a surprising team heading into the playoffs, especially since the recent injury of captain Connor McDavid. They have kept themselves in the playoff hunt, basically locking up the third position in the Pacific Division with 91 points.
