Husso allowed three goals on 39 shots in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 6. Husso was steady in goal throughout the game, but he couldn't stop Darren Helm with 5.6 seconds left in the third period. That goal gave the Avalanche the win, ending the Blues' season in the second round. After Jordan Binnington (knee) went down in Game 3, Husso surrendered 16 tallies on 132 shots, losing three of his four appearances in the series. The 27-year-old established himself as an NHL-level goalie this year with a 25-7-6 record, a 2.56 GAA and a .919 save percentage in 40 regular-season outings, and he's set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer.

Husso will start against the Avalanche at home on Friday, Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. Husso has coughed up 13 goals on 93 shots in three games this series. He allowed four goals on 34 shots in Game 5 but picked up the overtime win to force Friday's Game 6. The 27-year-old is 2-4-0 with a 3.78 GAA and an .884 save percentage during the postseason.

Husso allowed four goals on 34 shots in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Avalanche in Game 5. Husso allowed the first three goals of the game, and then another goal to Nathan MacKinnon late in the third period. The Blues erased both deficits before Tyler Bozak won the game 3:38 into overtime. Husso still hasn't been all that effective with 13 goals allowed in his last three games, but he did enough Wednesday to earn the Blues another game, which is set for Friday in St. Louis.

Husso will guard the road cage during Wednesday's Game 5 versus Colorado, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports. Husso wasn't great in Monday's Game 4 against the Avalanche, surrendering five goals on 36 shots en route to a 6-3 loss. The 27-year-old netminder will try to help the Blues stave off elimination by shooting for his second win of the playoffs.

Husso allowed five goals on 36 shots in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche in Game 4. The sixth goal was an empty-netter. Husso handled the Avalanche's pressure well in the first period, but the strong performance unraveled after that. He's now lost his last four appearances, and the Blues can't afford another defeat -- they face elimination in Wednesday's Game 5 in Denver. Husso has yielded 18 goals across his five playoff outings.
