One game.
Second night of back-to-backs.
On the road at Pepsi Center in Denver.
Win and you're in the playoffs, lose and you're not.
If this feels like a familiar situation for Blues Head Coach Mike Yeo, it's because it's happened before.

On April 27, 2013, Yeo and his Minnesota Wild needed a win to secure a playoff spot against the Colorado Avalanche in their final game of the regular season, on the second night of back-to-back games…
…and they won.
Yeo's Wild took a 3-1 victory over the Avalanche at Pepsi Center and guaranteed themselves a spot in the postseason.
With at least one point on Saturday in Colorado, Yeo - and the Blues, this time - can do it again.
Yeo said after Friday's 4-1 win against the Blackhawks that he hasn't given much thought to the similiarities between the scenario in 2013 and Saturday's scenario in Colorado, but he did offer this:
"When you have to win your last game, obviously it's intense, there's lots of pressure. I hope our guys embrace that, because it's going to be a fun game."
