With their season on the line, the St. Louis Blues will head back to Colorado to take on the Avalanche in a crucial Game 5 on Wednesday night.
They'll have to quickly put Monday's game behind them. In that contest, Nazem Kadri scored a hat trick - including two of Colorado's four unanswered goals in a 4:53 span in the second period - to pave the way for a 6-3 loss at Enterprise Center.
With temperatures rising and intensity dialing up, the pressure is on for the Blues to stay in the moment and focus on one game at a time. Having already won at Ball Arena earlier in the series, the team knows what it takes to steal a game in opposing territory.
"We'll regroup tomorrow, talk a little bit and look at some stuff," Blues Head Coach Craig Berube said after Game 4. "We have to play better. We can. We went in (to Colorado) and won Game 2. The team is capable of doing it."
The Blues power play reignited Monday night after going scoreless for the first time this postseason in Game 3, getting back-to-back goals from David Perron and Pavel Buchnevich to close out the second period.
Game 5 is Wednesday at 7 p.m. CT.
