Kings 2, Blues 1

| | Comments (2) |

The Kings started their exhibition schedule with a victory in Kansas City, as they beat St. Louis 2-1. Special-teams play carried the night, as Davis Drewiske had a shorthanded goal in the second period and Wayne Simmonds had a power-play goal in the third period before 11,603 fans in K.C. Kevin Westgarth fought St. Louis' D.J. King in the third period...

They're also underway at Staples, and Kyle Turris scored a power-play goal 1:47 into the first period -- with Scott Parse in the box for hooking -- to put Phoenix up 1-0. Jason LaBarbera is in goal for the Kings.

Good start.

I've heard personal quotes and reports on numerous people, but Stoll hasn't been mentioned. How does he look? He's going to be a big part of the puzzle this year, so I was just wondering if anybody has seen him, and if so, give me some updates please.

Rich,

The Daily News article (via AP) had Richardson scoring the game-winner on the PP. Which was odd because everywhere else including this blog had Simmonds.

The other funny thing was Yahoo box score, presumably also from AP since it wasn't in their usual format, had Simmonds. Maybe it was changed at some point but after the article went to press?

Richardson sounds wrong, just wondering...
