It's the first game of the week for the St. Louis Blues, and tonight they welcome the struggling Los Angeles Kings, who are 1-3-2 on the season. We highlighted the matchup a bit on Sunday, but there are plenty of storylines to dive into--here's three of them.
The top lines
According to Daily Faceoff's lineup predictions, the Blues are running back the top line of Dylan Holloway, Robert Thomas, and Jake Neighbours. That's a little surprising, as the trio has a dismal 33.3 xGF percentage, per Money Puck; they've only played a little over 12 minutes together at 5-on-5, though, so perhaps we'll see some chemistry develop tonight.
