Tonight at 8 p.m. ET, the Colorado Avalanche (19-17-10, 48 points) and St. Louis Blues (28-13-4, 60 points) take the ice for the fifth and final meeting against each other this season live from the Scottrade Center in St. Louis. The game can be live streamed for free here. Colorado fans can hear all of the action on AM 950 while St. Louis fans can do the same on KMOX 1120.

Colorado has dropped three of four to open up a five-game road trip that it closes out tonight while St. Louis has won three of four and continues a six-game homestand with the fifth contest tonight.

The Blues took three of the first four meetings between these two teams with 3-2 victories in a shootout and overtime in the first two games respectively and a 3-0 win last time these teams met on Dec. 29. The Avalanche's only win in this season series was a big one, 5-0 on Dec. 23.

St. Louis is second in the Central Division and will look to keep climbing while Colorado is in sixth place and trails the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference by three points with plenty of teams to jump.

The Avalanche are coming off of a 3-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning in a shootout on Saturday night, but Jarome Iginla is staying positive amid the team's 1-1-2 trip.

"If we get this one, we're over .500 for the trip," Iginla said via NHL.com. "It'll give us a shot to go back home and keep building that momentum and keep climbing. A lot goes on this game. We were fortunate in the last game to get that point, which kind of keeps you moving. You just keep chipping away."

Iginla is second on Colorado with 30 points off of 13 goals and 17 assists. Alex Tanguay paces the Avalanche with 31 points off of 13 tallies and 18 helpers while Gabriel Landeskog has found the twine nine times and added 19 assists for 28 points.

The Blues enter play off of a 3-0 shutout win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday and won't be taking their opponents lightly after the 5-0 loss they received on Dec. 23.

"We don't want to fall into that trap again," Blues defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk told NHL.com. "A game that we really just let get away from us and I think it's a lesson learned hopefully tonight when we go out there and we remember what that felt like. It was pretty embarrassing to get trounced like that. We especially don't want that to happen in our building."

Shattenkirk is second on St. Louis with 39 points off of eight goals and 31 assists. Vladimir Tarasenko is fourth in the NHL with 24 markers and tied for third with a plus-23 rating and leads the Blues with 47 points while Alex Steen has lit the lamp 15 times and added 23 assists for 38 points.

St. Louis turns to Brian Elliott in the crease and he is 12-5-2 with an NHL-leading 1.90 goals-against average while adding a .929 save percentage.

Colorado is likely to counter with Semyon Varlamov and he is 11-9-6 with a 2.68 GAA and a .922 save percentage.

The Avalanche and Blues clash for the last time this season when the puck drops tonight at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis.
