The St. Louis Blues are not really behind any eight balls in the standings after a 2-1-1 start to the 2021 season. However, they could not afford a poor performance after laying an egg against the San Jose Sharks.
On paper, it seemed like the Los Angeles Kings were the team to face when needing a good performance. However, after some a win and another good performance against the Colorado Avalanche, the Kings were in no mood to be bowled over.
