Key Stories to Watch<\/p>\n
The Avalanche can secure the Presidents\u2019 Trophy for the first time in five years with a victory against the Calgary Flames. If the Avs lose in regulation, a regulation loss for the Carolina Hurricanes will also lock up the No. 1 seed throughout the entire postseason. If the Avalanche fall in OT, the Canes also losing in OT will get the job done. <\/p>\n
Nazem Kadri left Tuesday\u2019s game in St. Louis with an upper-body injury after blocking a shot with his hand. Head coach Jared Bednar said Kadri will miss some games, and penciled him in to return next week before the playoffs. <\/p>\n
On the road, the Avs have been dominant as of late, winning 12 of 13 away from Ball Arena since Jan. 31. But at home, Colorado is 1-5-1 in its last seven games, with the lone triumph being a 9-2 final score against these very same Flames. <\/p>\n
Mackenzie Blackwood gets the nod for the Avs. He\u2019ll go up against Dustin Wolf.<\/p>\n
