The Blues have started out their 4 game road trip to end the season with two wins. The first was against Dallas on Monday 4-2, and then last night against Phoenix 5-2.
Enforcer D.j. King tallied his first NHL point with an assist in Monday's game, then scored the 5th goal in the Phoenix win to mark his first career goal. King says he is getting bounces in his favor right now, but one can tell how hard he skates by watching him in action. King was just a goal away from a Gordie Howe Hat trick Monday, but finished it with his first career goal Tuesday.
Lee Stempniak scored his 25th and 26th goals on the season in the 4-2 win over Dallas. He became only the Blues' 4th draft pick ever to reach 25 goals in a season while with the team.
Doug Weight continues to be hot recording 2 goals and an assist in the two wins. Weight leads the team in points (59) and assists (43). He has a personal bet with Bill Guerin to see who can score more goals after the trade deadline. As of Wednesday, Weight has 10 and Guerin has 8.
The Blues outplayed their opponents in both wins, and are very excited about next season. For now, Blues fans will have to do what they do best, and wait for the day to come.
