Time for a shake-up? Flustered Blues blitzed by Kings

“There are concerns across the board, but none more alarming than in net, where starting goaltender Jake Allen was pulled for the third time in his last five starts after giving up three goals on just 15 shots. Backup Carter Hutton relieved him, but gave up a goal on the second shot he saw, and the onslaught continued.”

Kings offense keeps buzzing in 5-1 win over Blues

“The Kings scored twice in the first – after being buried 6-0 in the three previous first periods – and Budaj knocked away six unthreatening shots on goal. The first Kings score was Muzzin’s second power-play goal in three games, and the second when Trevor Lewis slotted a wrist shot into the bottom-right corner of the net.”

Blues Vs. Kings Recap: Sleep Was a Better Choice

“Five minutes into the second period, the Kings score again to make it 3-0. Jake Muzzin scores his second of the night Kopitar gets it up the ice, Gaborik sets it up and Muzzin fires it in. Allen was pulled again after that goal. He never saw the third goal. 3 goals on 15 shots. Not good.”
