Blues hope to end offensive struggles vs. Kings

Mar 4, 2008 - 12:57 PM Los Angeles (26-36-5) at St Louis (28-27-10) 8:30 pm EST

ST. LOUIS (Ticker) - The St. Louis Blues will have to end their offensive woes if they want to hang on to their fading playoff hopes.

The Blues will try to end their six-game winless streak Tuesday when they host the Los Angeles Kings.

St. Louis has not managed more than one goal in a game and has been shutout twice over its current slide (0-5-1). Most recently, the Blues were blanked by San Jose Sharks, 2-0, on Saturday with backup goaltender Brian Boucher making his first start of the season.

Brad Boyes, who signed a contract extension Saturday, has been held without a point for the last six games. Despite his recent struggles, Boyes still leads the club with 32 tallies this season.

The Blues are eight points out of the final playoff spot and have fallen to 14th in the Western Conference.

The Kings are also struggling, as they have for the majority of the season.

Los Angeles, which is wrapping up a four-game road trip, has not won in its previous four games (0-2-2).
