PLAYERS TO WATCH
BLUES
After finding the back of the net for the first time this season against Dallas, Jordan Kyrou holds a 3-game point streak (1g, 2a) and looks to keep things rolling as the Blues take on the Kings. The speedy forward led St. Louis with 36 goals and 70 points last season, marking his second straight 70-point campaign. Known for his explosive acceleration and quick release, Kyrou is always a threat to create offense — and now that he’s on the board, he is heating up fast.
KINGS
Adrian Kempe remains one of the Kings’ most reliable offensive weapons, recording three two-point games in his last four. A top-line fixture known for his speed, strength, and finishing touch, Kempe continues to drive the Kings’ attack alongside Alex Laferriere and Andrei Kuzmenko, creating space and generating chances off the rush.
BLUE NOTES
- If Jordan Kyrou can score 30+ goals this season, he would be the second player since 1996-97 to have four straight 30-goal seasons as a Blue (Tarasenko, five straight from 2014-15 to 2018-19).
- Jordan Binnington will become the Blues all-time leader in games played among goaltenders with eight more appearances (1. Liut, 347).
- Doug Armstrong will become the 16th General Manager in NHL history (second active) to reach 1,600 career games as a GM on March 10 vs. NY Islanders.
