Let's Hope You Didn't Stay Up Late for This: Blues Blown Out By Kings
Defensive depth: activate! (Please?)
The West Coast road trip concludes with a visit to the Staples Center and the LA Kings. To bounce back, the Blues will need to figure out why the Power Play is on its own Dry Island.
The special teams and the goaltending need a boost to their self-esteem. Without Drew Doughty, the Kings are the Blues' best hope.
The Los Angeles Kings have their long-awaited home opener Thursday night, hosting the St. Louis Blues at Staples Center.
Viatcheslav Voynov is playing tonight. Hooray!
