Colorado Avalanche First-Round Playoff Schedule Set

Some time tonight, we will know exactly who the Colorado Avalanche will play in the first round of the NHL playoffs. It will be either the Minnesota Wild (if they lose to the L.A. Kings) or the St. Louis Blues (if they win).

The NHL this morning released the schedules for both series. If the Avs win tonight, they get an extra day of rest and play the Blues on Monday. If they lose to the Kings, they’ll play Sunday against the Wild. Here are the schedules:
