Blues lose again, Avs clinch Central
The St. Louis Blues extended their losing streak to six straight with a 3-0 home loss to the Detroit Red Wings Sunday, and now the Blues now have a first round playoff date the defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks.
The Blues losing streak to close out the season allowed the Colorado Avalanche to clinch Central Division and the No. 2 seed in the West.
St. Louis have lost their scoring touch, Sunday was they second time in two games the Blues were shut out and their seventh ranked offense scored just five goals in the last six games.

Doughty missed the final four games of the regular season with a shoulder injury and is questionable to return for the playoffs.
