The Blues have almost* nothing to play for.
They are one point behind Colorado and play them tomorrow in Colorado, last game of the season.
I do not know what the Blues are planning, whether they will rest players, or whatever, but they will not go 1000% into the corners and hit hard and go all out knowing they have to fly to Colorado after midnight tonight and play the rested Avalanche for the playoff spot, all or nothing. So if they lose tonight and win tomorrow in regulation, they are in the playoffs.
Sure the Blackhawks are disappointing but it is the last game of the year, at home.
Deep inside the depleted Blues are a mess, they just lost 4 in a row when it matters, know even if they make the playoffs they will get massacred by Nashville.
Blackhawks + 120, BIG. (put some more on Blackhawks - 1.5 as well)
(*there are some far fetched scenarios with ties and overtime and shootouts that could happen but if Blues lose straight up in regulation tomorrow night it does not matter if they win or tie tonight)
