The Colorado Avalanche hosts the St. Louis Blues on Saturday night at Pepsi Center, the regular-season finale for both teams that will ultimately determine the final playoff berth in the Western Conference.
This will be the 10th time in the last 12 years that the Avs will end the season on home ice. It's the fifth matchup of the season series and second at Pepsi Center. The Avalanche played the last three contests at St. Louis, winning the last game 4-1. Saturday' matchup is the second half of a back-to-back for the Blues, who topped the Chicago Blackhawks 4-1 on Friday night.
Saturday is also Fan Appreciation Night at Pepsi Center, which includes the always-anticipated "Jerseys Off Our Backs" ceremony in which Avalanche players will give their game-worn jerseys to randomly-selected fans following the contest.
