It was a fairly quiet night in the NHL on Wednesday with just three games on the schedule, but with the Anaheim Ducks' win, there is now just a single spot left to be had in the West.
The Chicago Blackhawks played the role of spoiler against the St. Louis Blues, delivering the club a crushing 4-3 loss on the back of Duncan Keith's game-winner with just nine seconds left in regulation.
The loss significantly hurt the Blues' chances, meanwhile, the Colorado Avalanche were thrilled as their slim one-point lead in the standings remained intact.
