The Colorado Avalanche completed a first-round sweep of the St. Louis Blues with a 5-2 win in Game 4 on Sunday.
Colorado will face either the Vegas Golden Knights or the Minnesota Wild in Round 2. Vegas currently holds a 3-1 series lead over Minnesota.
Vladimir Tarasenko gave the Blues their first lead of the series in the second period with his first of two goals in the game. But the Avalanche responded quickly, with Brandon Saad and Gabriel Landeskog scoring to put Colorado back on top heading into the final frame.
It's the first time the Blues have been swept in the playoffs since their Western Conference semifinal series against the Los Angeles Kings in 2012.
