Tonight the LA Kings wrap up a lengthy seven-game homestand with their final regular season meeting with the St. Louis Blues. The Kings have not lost in regulation in their previous six games, going 4-0-2 during the stretch.

After trading away several high-profile players at the trade deadline, the Blues are not qualifying for the playoffs this year, giving the Kings a chance to sweep the season series after taking the first two games in October and early March.
