The St. Louis Blues look to extend their point streak to six games on Sunday night when they meet the red-hot Los Angeles Kings at Crypto.com Arena (9:30 p.m. CT, BSMW, 101 ESPN).

Joel Hofer will start in goal. The 22-year-old goaltender is 3-0-1 in four starts this season, posting a 1.74 goals-against average and a .944 save-percentage.
Sunday's matchup will be his toughest test yet, though, as the Kings carry a 12-game home point streak (10-0-2) into the game that dates back to Feb. 11. With an 8-0-2 record in their last 10 overall, the Kings have surged to just four points behind the Vegas Golden Knights for the top spot in the Western Conference with just 10 games left to play.
Blues Head Coach Craig Berube said he is making one additional lineup change, putting Calle Rosen in for Robert Bortuzzo on the third pairing.
