Update: Though the Kings stayed in the playoff race longer than expected, they were hurt by their latest slump. They’ve picked up only three points in their last six games and trail eighth-place Nashville by seven points with 10 games left. The Kings should be happy to see the Blues, having scored 15 goals in three wins against them. St. Louis sits in 11th place, only two points behind Nashville.
