The St. Louis Blues picked up two points Saturday night in a shootout win, and that means two things: They're locked into third in the Central Division, and they'll face the Minnesota Wild in the first round of the playoffs.
The Wild have home ice.
Mike Yeo, now head coach of the Blues after Ken Hitchcock was relieved of his duties earlier in the season, will face his former team. Yeo spent four-and-a-half years behind the Wild bench, from 2011 to 2016.
The clubs last met in the postseason in 2015, also in the first round, with the Wild winning in six games.
