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.
