It’s been six seasons straight that the Blues have made the Stanley Cup playoffs, so forgive me if I’m a bit rusty in checking playoff odds. The day after every game, I’ll be posting the Blues’ chances of squeaking into the playoffs.
Last night’s win against the Ducks was a very, very good thing for the Blues. Here’re today’s NHL standings before tonight’s games:

The Blues sit one point back of the Colorado Avalanche, who they play Thursday night in St. Louis.

Out of all of the teams that are currently out of the playoff picture, only the Blues have positive odds to make it in.
Tonight, per SportsClubStats, we should all be Habs fans (a 3.4% odds boost if they win over the Stars) and Wild fans (a 1.9% odds boost if they beat the Avalanche).
