It’s a tight turnaround, as the Los Angeles Kings are set to face the St. Louis Blues in the second game of their first back-to-back in 2021. As expected, both teams are making a change in net, with Jonathan Quick in for the Kings and Ville Husso will be making his first NHL start in net for the Blues. The 25-year-old Finnish netminder played one period in relief of Jordan Binnington earlier this season against the Colorado Avalanche — both Husso and Binnington allowed four goals in that game.
Here’s everything you need to know to tune in tonight:
