Los Angeles Kings vs. St. Louis Blues: Keys to the series
- Share via
KINGS
They must: be prepared for a bruising series against a team seeking to avenge being swept out of the second round by the Kings last spring; get scoring from others besides Jeff Carter; find this spring’s Dwight King, the winger who surprisingly scored five goals in 20 games last spring.
BLUES
They must: get exceptional performances from goaltender Brian Elliott, who worked his way back from being the third man in a two-man rotation; get contributions from winger T.J. Oshie, who missed 15 games because of an ankle injury; stand up to the Kings’ physicality but avoid stupid penalties.
