Some notes: I think Rasmus Kupari had a pretty decent debut. He was already comfortable skating with the puck for zone entries and kept things simple with some good, short passes to advance the play. Speaking of a different forward, Gabriel Vilardi has been looking good lately, with six points in his last nine games. He’s been really active around the net in the offensive zone, getting to good spots to receive the puck for chances.
Overall, it wasn’t a bad game for the Kings and I think they’ve been better than their record shows over the last stretch of games. The Kings and Blues will face off in the second and final game of their series tonight. Vladimir Tarasenko is expected to return for the Blues, following shoulder surgery.
