ST. LOUIS — With the way the last few weeks have gone for the Blues, it was probably fitting that their penalty kill was pounded in the final home game of the season.
During a 5-2 loss to the Stars on Wednesday night, the Blues gave up three power-play goals, the eighth time in the last nine games that St. Louis has allowed at least one power-play goal to the opposition. Dating back to the March 26 loss in Los Angeles, the Blues' penalty kill is 14 for 31, killing penalties at a dreadful 45.2% rate.
The loss meant the Blues finished the season with an 18-17-6 record at home, with the regular-season finale on Thursday in Dallas.
