|
| | | LOS ANGELES: LAST SEASON: 48-28-6, 102 points. Second in Pacific Division. Lost to San Jose in first round.
COACH: Darryl Sutter (sixth season, 17th NHL season).
ADDED: LW Teddy Purcell, D Tom Gilbert, G Jeff Zatkoff.
LOST: LW Milan Lucic, C Vincent Lecavalier, D Luke Schenn, RW Kris Versteeg.
PLAYER TO WATCH: C Anze Kopitar. The Kings' newly appointed captain is also a newly minted Selke Trophy winner. He already carried a large chunk of their offensive responsibilities, but he must grow as a leader to keep Los Angeles competitive in what could be a challenging start to the season.
OUTLOOK: After a first-round postseason flop erased much of the good feelings from a strong regular season, the Kings will again rely on the indefinable strength of their championship-winning core to contend after making no significant offseason additions. Yet after two Stanley Cup runs that came out of seemingly nowhere, nobody will ever underestimate the Kings in the spring. | | ST LOUIS: LAST SEASON: 49-24-9, 107 points. Second in Central Division. Lost to San Jose Sharks in Western Conference finals.
COACH: Ken Hitchcock, sixth season with Blues (224-103-36) , 20th season overall (757-453-88-106).
ADDED: F David Perron, G Carter Hutton.
LOST: C David Backes, F Troy Brouwer, G Brian Elliott, F Steve Ott.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Jake Allen. The Blues made the 26-year-old goalie their go-to guy in net after trading Brian Elliott to Calgary for a second-round draft pick. Allen went 26-15-3 with a 2.35 goals-against average, .920 save percentage and six shutouts in 47 games last season while splitting time with Elliott.
OUTLOOK: The Blues lost veteran forwards David Backes and Troy Brouwer in free agency but return plenty of firepower offensively, led by Vladimir Tarasenko, Alexander Steen and Paul Stastny. St. Louis still has one of the deepest groups of defenseman in the NHL with Alex Pietrangelo, now the team's captain, Jay Bouwmeester, Kevin Shattenkirk and youngster Colton Parayko. |
| | Blues searching for goals against Kings
ST. LOUIS -- Some changes might be coming to the forward lines of the St. Louis Blues for Saturday night's game against the visiting Los Angeles Kings. The Blues scored one goal in four of their last five games, including a 2-1 shootout loss Thursday night to the Detroit Red Wings. In both of their home losses this week, their only goal was scored by defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk. "I think we've got to look at everything right now," said coach Ken Hitchcock. "We've got to look at combinations, what's working, what's not working, what we need to get more from. You can't keep living on scoring chances. You've got to finish at the end of the day." St. Louis recorded 32 shots on goal against the Red Wings, but that total did not impress Hitchcock. "We're scoring one goal and getting points, that's incredible," Hitchcock said. "That's a hell of a feather in these guys' cap, to score one goal and get points. You're going to have to score more goals and have to finish your chances. I don't think we're creating the second and third chances that we normally do. The scoring chances seem to be one and done right now." Center Paul Stastny believes the Blues are just going through a slump, which could end at any time. "Sometimes you just need that bounce," Stastny said. "It happens throughout the season; we just have to dig deep and create chances to get out way out of it. You've got to try to create your own bounces sometimes when it's tough to score. We know what we're capable of and what we can do." The Kings, meanwhile, will bring a different kind of streak into the game. They defeated the Nashville Predators 3-2 in overtime at home on Thursday night to mark their fourth consecutive win in overtime or a shootout. Having that kind of success in so many overtime games is unusual, Los Angeles knows. The winning streak came after the team lost its first three games this season. "Big saves and scoring on your opportunities," said center Jeff Carter, who scored the overtime winner Thursday night. "That's really all it is. ... You start with possession, you've got a good chance. ... Really, what it comes down to is getting a save from your goalie and burying your opportunities. There's not much to it." All the wins came behind Peter Budaj, who replaced injured Jonathan Quick in goal. Two of the wins came by scores of 4-3 and the other two by 3-2 scores. "He's played really well for us," said coach Darryl Sutter of Budaj. "We don't give up much and expect that he make -- you've got to make some big saves, obviously, in the National Hockey League, but we don't give up a lot of shots." |
