Seven is heaven as Blues scorch Kings, 7-3, in home opener

ST. LOUIS — The skating, scoring Blues are 4-0 for the first time since 2017-18 after beating the Los Angeles Kings, 7-3, before a raucous sellout crowd of 18,096 at Enterprise Center. But don’t make plans for the Stanley Cup parade down Market Street just yet. That ’17-18 team under coach Mike Yeo started 13-3-1 ... and missed the playoffs by a point.

But 4-0 is better than 0-4. And the Blues did beat the pesky Kings, who gave them fits last season going 5-1-2 against the Blues. The teams will do it again on Monday with a rematch at Enterprise.

After a skittish start, this one was almost too easy for the Blues, who scored six straight goals from late in the first period to early in the third.
