Preview: Blues at Kings

The King defending its castle:

The St. Louis Blues continue their road trip on Wednesday with a matchup against the Los Angeles Kings, looking to bounce back after Monday's 5–4 loss to the San Jose Sharks. The Blues enter the matchup coming off a stellar March, where they collected points in 12 of their 14 contests.

The Kings enter Wednesday’s matchup looking to rebound after a 6–2 loss to the Utah Mammoth on Saturday. Los Angeles has gone 5-5-4 throughout March and is in the midst of a pivotal seven-game homestand, a stretch that could prove crucial as they battle for valuable points in a tightly-contested Western Conference Wild Card race.

With the Blues sitting four points out of a Wild Card spot and the Kings just one point back, Wednesday’s matchup carries major postseason implications as both teams fight to keep their playoff hopes alive.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

BLUES: PHILIP BROBERG

Defenseman Philip Broberg has been everything the Blues hoped for since acquiring him. He is currently on a five-game point streak (2g, 3a) - one shy of matching his career high - and has scored two power-play goals during that span. Broberg leads all Blues defensemen with six goals and 28 points this season.

KINGS: QUINTON BYFIELD

Winger Quinton Byfield has been heating up as of late. He has recorded nine points in his last seven games (5g, 4a), including four multi-point games during that span. Byfield was named the first star of the game on Thursday in a 4–0 win at Vancouver.

BLUES BUZZ

• Jimmy Snuggerud leads all rookies in the NHL in the month of March with four goals, nine points and a +8 rating on the road, while his five road assists share first among all rookies (Easton Cowan/Gabe Perreault).
