The Blues will meet the Vegas Golden Knights at T-Mobile Arena, while the Los Angeles Kings meet the Colorado Avalanche at Staples Center.
If the Blues beat the Golden Knights, they need the Kings to lose in any fashion. If the Blues get just one point against Vegas with an overtime or shootout loss, the Kings must lose in regulation.
Both games begin Friday at 9 p.m. CT.
If the Blues are able to clinch a playoff spot, it will be the 44th time in franchise history the team has reached the postseason.
