The Avalanche and St. Louis Blues will begin their second-round series on Tuesday.
Listen to “Round 2 Preview” on Spreaker.
Colorado swept its way through the first round, defeating the Nashville Predators in just four games. The Avs have been off since last Monday’s Game 4 victory, getting an entire week off after Round 1 for the second consecutive season.
The Blues advanced to Round 2 following their six-game victory over the Minnesota Wild which ended on Thursday. Colorado and St. Louis were the first two teams to advance to Round 2 as five other series required a decisive Game 7.
The two teams met in the first round last year, where the Avalanche swept St. Louis before falling to the Vegas Golden Knights in Round 2.
