The St. Louis Blues were coming off their first home win of the season, but even that game was not a fantastic performance. We got more of the same against the Los Angeles Kings.
The first period of the Blues against the Kings was just off. St. Louis didn't get a shot on goal for about six or seven minutes and didn't even have any offensive zone time for the first four minutes and change.
Meanwhile, the Kings didn't have a ton of looks, but the Blues were giving up quality looks. Los Angeles finished the first 20 minutes with two high-danger chances and six quality chances out of a total of 10 shots on goal.
