StL–80 pts
Chi–77 pts
Wpg-73 pts
The Blues got knocked out of the playoffs Chicago in six and a rematch could favor the Blues this year. Patrick Kane, tied for the NHL lead in points, is out 12 weeks after surgery to repair a broken clavicle and would miss a potential first round playoff series with the Blues.
Since the 2002-2003 season, the St. Louis Blues have won just one playoff series, going 1-6 in their last seven playoff series. In five of the six seasons the Blues made the playoffs in that time, they were knocked out in the conference quarterfinals.
